With using matplotlib for your plots, you can easily create many kinds
of plots.
On the other hand, if integration with MS Office is a concern, other
options may be more suitable for you as matplotlib can not export
EMF/WMF files any more. (Using svg or pdf as intermediate format is
possible, but no fun.)
With the drawing function of e.g. wxPython or PyQt you can either draw
on the screen or into a Metafile context using the same code. So you can
easily export high quality vector graphics via clipboard or file.

Dietmar
