Eric,

A minor question. I wonder whether an explicit for-loop inside pyplot.sca is
necessary?
Here is a slight variation w/o a for-loop (well, the for-loop is implicitly
done with the "in" operator I guess) that seems to work for me, but I may be
missing something.

    managers = _pylab_helpers.Gcf.get_all_fig_managers()
    if ax.figure.canvas.manager in managers and \
           ax in ax.figure.axes:
        _pylab_helpers.Gcf.set_active(ax.figure.canvas.manager)
        ax.figure.sca(ax)
        return
    raise ValueError("Axes instance argument was not found in a figure.")
