On this topic, can anyone recommend a plotting library for use on the 
Mac with python. I have seen the list on the python.org, but there are 
a lot there, and I would rather not have to try each one individually. 
My requirements are:

- Publication quality
- Must be able to do contour plots
- Preferably a nice python object-based interface
