Hmmm, that's strange.  I don't know why that wouldn't work.

There is one peculiarity with respect to terminals: after a call to 
plotobj.hardcopy(), the terminal set has to be set back to the 
"non-printer" terminal.  In practice it does this by setting it back to 
GnuplotOpts.default_term, which for Mac OS X is set in gp_maxosx.py to 
be 'aqua'.  But if you haven't done a hardcopy() this shouldn't affect you.

As with many other problems with Gnuplot.py, try setting the debug option:

    plotobj = Gnuplot.Gnuplot(debug=1)

This will print out each of the commands being sent to the gnuplot 
program and should help you figure out where the problem lies.
