Take a look at the stacked bar demo:

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/bar_stacked.py

for stacked bar charts.  We do not currently have any helper functions
for the side-by-side comparisons, so you have to provide the offsets
yourself, as in

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/barchart_demo.py

though such functionality would certainly be useful.
