title: Import a matlotlibrc file?
body: <p>Simple question - I have a <code>.matplotlibrc</code> file with some defaults (e.g. <a href="http://home.strw.leidenuniv.nl/~turnerm/python.html" rel="nofollow">http://home.strw.leidenuniv.nl/~turnerm/python.html</a>) that I want to import/apply optionally with a simple switch in the code. How do I do this?</p>
  
  <p>I could translate the <code>.matplotlibrc</code> syntax to regular python code, but I can't quite get this to work. Would <code>execfile()</code> work?</p>
