Gnuplot.py uses Subversion now, not CVS.  Probably the CVS archive is
still available at SourceForge for read-only access, but it is not up to
date.  Please see the Subversion instructions that somebody else
mentioned for information how to check out the Gnuplot.py source from
Subversion.

No, everybody has read-only access to this Subversion archive.  If you
want write-access, that is another story.

Hey, what a brilliant idea!  I never thought of that!  All that is
missing is for SOMEONE to step forward.  This is an open source project;
that SOMEONE could be you!

I haven't used Gnuplot.py in years and have only occasionally done tiny
amounts of maintenance out of some irrational sentimental attachment to
the project.  Gnuplot.py definitely needs a new maintainer, if only to
collect some minor changes that have been contributed by the mailing
list and occasionally make a release.  Volunteers needed!

I'd be happy to get you started making contributions to the project.
Just let me know that you are interested.  (That applies to everybody
else, too.)
