If you were going to get started doing some simple plotting with Python 2.7 (in my case, I'm simply plotting temperature against time-of-day) what would you use?

 - matplotlib [1]
 - gnuplot [2]
 - something else entirely?


Assume no substantial familiarity with the underlying plotting software, let alone the Python bindings.

The only thing I can think of that might be special is to specify the upper/lower bounds of the plot; for example, in my case, I know the temperatures vary between somewhere around 70-78 degrees F., so I'd want the Y-axis to go, say 60-90, not arbitrarily start at zero; but I suspect this is a pretty standard thing in almost any plotting package.
