subplot not working properly

[dave pretty]

As documented in:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.pylab.html#-subplot
the syntax for subplot is subplot(x,y,z)

in dapper, the short version subplot(xyz) [without commas] works, but not subplot(x,y,z)

this is a problem as it limits the number of subplots to 9.

both versions ( with and without commas) work in breezy.

I've tried various backends ( http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/backends.html ) but the problem is independent of backend.

a little more info:

(in dapper)

the following works fine:

import pylab as pl
pl.subplot(211)
pl.plot([1,2,3],[1,2,3],'o')
pl.subplot(212)
pl.plot([3,2,1],[3,2,1],'x')
pl.show()

but here, the second subplot doesn't do anything so the second plot is plotted on top of the first
import pylab as pl
pl.subplot(2,1,1)
pl.plot([1,2,3],[1,2,3],'o')
pl.subplot(2,1,2)
pl.plot([3,2,1],[3,2,1],'x')
pl.show()

This is fixed upstream. See

and http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1222180&group_id=80706&atid=560722

any release past edgy should have this fix, then.
