3D in matplotlib

One of the frustrating things about matplotlib is its lack of 3D plotting. If matplotlib were a mediocre library it wouldn' hurt. But it is a GREAT library and produces really good looking plots. So the lack of 3D plotting sometimes makes me want to go out and strangle somebody. There has however always been a furtive 3D plotting feature in matplotlib, and apparently, its being worked on some more. Yeehah! No more futzing with pyVtk.
