[BioPython] Scientific plotting with python: Pygist for Windows

Yes I know, I even used DISLIN for a while. What I liked better about 
Pygist is that it is interactive. So after you open a window, you get 
your python prompt back and you can continue entering python commands, 
including commands to modify the plot you are working on. The last time 
I tried DISLIN, once you open a graphics window you don't get the Python 
prompt back, and you're rather stuck. But tastes differ, I guess, so to 
each his own.
