Your colleague is right.  The main problem with mixing the pylab
interface with your own wx widgets is that pylab controls the windows
it creates, eg managing destroy etc.


For examples on how to embed matplotlib is an wx application, see the
examples/embedding_in_wx*.py demos in the matplotlib src distro.

Hope this helps!
