Rather, they are living, adaptive concepts that guide the plans and activities of a project's contributors.

The matplotlib module arose out of such an environment, and it has continuous goals of refining and improving its architecture and updating its older bits to follow the best practices of and the latest advances in not only the project itself, but also the wider Python community over the years since its inception.
