I presume you are objecting to this line:

The pyplot interface is generally preferred for non-interactive plotting (i.e., scripting). 

The trick is to make the additional distinction between the minimal use of pyplot (figure, subplots, show, maybe a few imports like get_cmap) and the use of the Axes method wrappers.
Furthermore, all this has to be done without hopelessly confusing and repelling newcomers.

 - strengthen suggestion to use auto pep8 checker
 - added example  minimal numpydoc docstring
 - formatting
 - tweaked suggested imports to make copy-paste easier
 - updated list of versions of python
 - github PR as primary mode of communication
 - Added map of major parts of a figure
 - removed reference to pythonbrew (which has been deprecated)
 - moved tox section to very end as the docs and the tox file are
   both very out of date.
