boilerplate.py

"""
Script to autogenerate pyplot wrappers.

When this script is run, the current contents of pyplot are
split into generatable and non-generatable content (via the magic header
:attr:`PYPLOT_MAGIC_HEADER`) and the generatable content is overwritten.
Hence, the non-generatable content should be edited in the pyplot.py file
itself, whereas the generatable content must be edited via templates in
this file.
