When you say *style library*, I’m not sure exactly what you mean…
It would be just more stylesheets, or a full python lib to manage the 
styles?
The latter would be the most interesting for me (as that is what I had 
in mind when starting this thread), but after digging in mpl, it seemed 
that the actual style management system is quite good… Unless there is 
some caveat I am not aware of.
In that case, could you point out what you have in mind (if anything)?
