  f, a = plt.subplots()
  a.plot(x, y)

that's the way to go there. And if you need to make a regular
grid of subplots, you can pass it the number of rows and number
of columns, and get a 2D array of subplots out for the second
argument.

  f, axes = plt.subplots(2,3)
  axes[0,2].plot(range(10))
  axes[1,1].plot(-np.arange(10))
  f.canvas.draw()

best,
