I would consider Octave to be a much better substitute for MATLAB rather than Python for those who just wants to 'get the job done'. That being said, however, I think anyone who uses Python for scientific work (for whatever reason) would greatly appreciate Matplotlib due to the resemblance to MATLAB's built-in plot functions.
