I wrote the finance module a long time ago to make some basic
financial charts, but I haven't updated it and I don't think it is the
best way to go.  But when I wrote it I wasn't in the financial
industry and now I am so maybe my standards are higher :-)

 You can get help from matplotlib.finance -- we haven't uploaded all
the module docs to the site documentation yet because there are some
formatting issues with the docstrings nad we are doing them as we get
to them.  In the meantime, use the ipython shell

  import matplotlib.finance
  help matplotlib.finance

Also, see the code examples
