I just committed a change to Gnuplot.py in r299 of trunk which allows
client code to name the option "with_" (note trailing underscore) to
avoid warnings and errors with newer versions of Python.  I also changed
the Gnuplot.py code itself so that it does not use "with" as an identifier.

However, for backwards compatibility (and through the magic of Python
varargs processing), Gnuplot.py still accepts "with" as an alternative
spelling of this option.  Thus this change should not break old clients.

Regarding your questions:

1. This change should get rid of the warnings, assuming you change your
code accordingly.

2. Rename 'with' -> 'with_'

3. Done.
