Remove references of %pylab and/or warn not to use.

In image tutorial it was completely unused later. And of course people on Stack Overflow
always appear to be able to find the most deeply buried documentation to give bad advices.

Looks good to me, I will deal with this later to do the cherry-picking.

Thanks, I apparently received "primecoins" for that.
Is this something matplotlib opted-in ?

No and I think it introduces a perverse set of incentives.

Reports are that primecoin is a new crypto-currency trying to get a foot hold by donating to committers to OSS projects. See the discussion at scikit-image/scikit-image#1199.

Ok, thanks for the link. I was feeling it was something along that indeed. I also feel like commit might not be the right granularity, and can understand the problems.

I hope it will still add dynamism to some project.
