[Tutor] plotting with python

[greg whittier]

matplotlib and pylab are two APIs to the same library.  Using
matplotlib is a more object-oriented, pythonic API.  pylab is modeled
after the Matlab plotting functions to make it easier for those coming
from that environment.

There's a matplotlib mailing list and you can often figure out what
you need from perusing the examples and the thumbnail gallery.  In
your case, I think
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/two_scales.html is what
you want.
