If you were going to get started doing some simple plotting with Python

what would you use?

- 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.

matplotlib, I gave up gnuplot in favour of it maybe 15 years ago and
have never looked back.
