Getting gnuplot output back to python?

[Huaiyu Zhu]

Using the Gnuplot module, is it possible to get gnuplot output back to
python?  For example, to get back the values of current axis ranges.

If I read correctly, the current Gnuplot module uses a one way pipe to
gnuplot, so it can only do things like settting axis but not things like
asking what the current axis is.

If so, is this just due to current implementation or due to some more
fundamental reason?  Would someone be willing to tackle this problem?
