[Matplotlib-users] default data sets for matplotlib?

[Paul T. <pau...@gm...>]

In R, there are many default data sets one can use to both illustrate code
and explore the scripting language. Instead of having to fake data, one can
pull from meaningful data sets, created in the real world. For example,
this one liner actually produces a plot:

plot(mtcars$hp~mtcars$mpg)

where mtcars refers to a built-in data set taken from Motor Trend Magazine.
I don't believe matplotlib has anything similar. I have started to download
some of the R data sets and store them as pickles for my own use. Does
anyone else have any interest in creating a repository for these data sets
or otherwise sharing them in some way?
