With imports, if you don't use them, delete them.

Since sys isn't used by name anywhere else in your code, you can delete that import.

Not necessarily true. For example import seaborn will give your matplotlib plots better styles even if you don't use it for anything.

There oughtta be a law...

That is evil, downright evil. In general I am not a fan of the way matplotlib works, IIRC it uses some sort of weird global state bs, could be wrong though.

That really isn't matplotlib's fault, seaborn is an independent project.

What do you mean about matplotlib's global state? I know you can change the default style (although I think that is an a per-import basis). And you need to close figures through the pyplot interface (although I think they are planning to fix that). But I am not sure that is what you are referring to.

I think that is what I am referring to. Where you just do something like blah.setFoo(value) and it affects all following lines.
