I believe it should.

I don't think it would be so complicated for the "plot" code to check
for the type of the input arguments and then create a list (or a
sequence) on the fly, i.e. (pseudo-code, untested):

if isinstance(x, types.IntType):
   x = [x]

The same apply for the second input.

As it appears to work in tools like Matlab, I don't see why MPL should
not support it. But then, I am no expert in MPL so it might be
difficult to do it for other reasons.

Andrea.
