[matplotlib-devel] Important thread on IPython-dev

[Eric F. <ef...@ha...>]

There is a long thread on IPython-dev discussing how to make matplotlib 
"just work" in a notebook without requiring "%matplotlib inline" or any 
other such magic at the top.  As a side topic in the thread, there are 
comments as to how useful "%pylab" still is for real work.
