More precisely, what I mean is like the top-left plot in 
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/grp/ek/hippodraw/canvaswindow.png

If I understand bar() (then hist()) functionalities correctly, it may 
be unable to create such a plot currently without using plot().

from matplotlib.matlab import *
bins = [0, 1, 2, 3]
vals = [3, 4, 5]
x = [bins[0]]
y = [0]
vals.append(0)
for i in range(len(bins) - 1):
    x.append(bins[i])
    y.append(vals[i])
    x.append(bins[i + 1])
    y.append(vals[i])
    x.append(bins[i + 1])
    y.append(vals[i + 1])
plot(x, y)
show()
