I always thought 'pylab' was an odd name, so I always do
   from matplotlib import pylab as plot

I think the matplotlib folks would be willing to change the name of
pylab if it were seen as something that would be good for the
community.  I kind of wonder why they didn't call it 'matplot',
personally.
