Show HN: Plot directly in your terminal with matplotlib
Gnuplot has an output mode - called "dumb" - that prints an ASCII plot to the terminal.  See e.g. http://pastebin.com/WHcLZHPr  This is very handy when running scientific codes on remote machines, and works in any terminal (not just iTerm2 like the submission).I've been looking for a matplotlib extension to do the same thing, without success.
