I have to correct myself, I had not understood Max's statement "in order 
to have graphics embedded in your document, you have to tell to matplot 
lib to produce a ps or pdf. ".

The commands to get the image embedded in the document are 
pdf_out(plt.gcf()) and ps_out(plt.gcf()), while plt.show() will show the 
figure in its own window.
