Can you provide some more information and a self-contained example? What is
your record object? Is it a pandas dataframe? Are the limits of
record.level consistent with vmax and vmin kwargs fed in the call to
ax.scatter?
Typically you can just do:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# blah blah
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
s = ax.scatter()...
cb = plt.colorbar(s)
cb.set_label('Cbar Label Here')
Also, I don't think you need to mess with the backend stuff. Just do
fig.savefig('figname.png'). If you need separate markers for each set, make
a single call to scatter for each data group, and use numpy to figure out
what the appropriate vmax a vmin limits are for the colorbar.

I create PNG files of scatterplots with code that, in essence, goes as in
the sketch below:
cmap = (matplotlib.color.LinearSegmentedColormap.
 from_list('blueWhiteRed', ['blue', 'white', 'red']))
fig = matplotlib.figure.Figure(figsize=(4, 4), dpi=72)
ax = fig.gca()
for marker in 'o s ^ *'.split():
 X, Y, COLOR = zip(*((record.x, record.y, record.level)
 for record in data if record.marker == marker))
 ax.scatter(X, Y, marker=marker,
 c=COLOR, vmin=0, vmax=1, cmap=cmap,
 **otherkwargs)
# various settings of ticks, labels, etc. omitted
canvas = matplotlib.backends.backend_agg.FigureCanvasAgg(fig)
fig.set_canvas(canvas)
# IMPORTANT: the generated figure is *not* displayed on the screen, but
# rather it is output to disk as a PNG file:
canvas.print_png('/path/to/output/fig.png')
My question is this:
What do I need to add to the code above to get a vertical colorbar
(representing the colormap incmap) along the plot's right edge?
I word the question in this way because I am not sufficiently facile with
Matplotlib to deviate too far from the working code above.
In particular, my code *has* to be able to produce PNG files
*non-interactively*, so the last line in the code sketch above is really
essential.
Thanks in advance!

My apologies, I misread your post. I was assuming that you were trying to
create a github account in order to file a bug report. But again, this
isn't a matplotlib issue, this is a nabble issue.

Sorry, I'm confused by your mention of github. Did you mean "nabble"? I'm
accessing the list through http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com...

This would be a question for github.com, not for this mailing list. We do
not control github's account creation process.

When I try to register, I run into the error "This user name is already in
use" (even though this username does not show up in the "People" listing at
http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=app_people&node=2).
If there already is a user with this name I'm sure it's me, but there's no
way for me to log in by providing a user name, or to have a password or a
link sent to the email associated with the username in question.
How can I free up my username so I can register with it?

When you recompile Python in a new unicode mode, you then need to 
recompile all extensions (such as Numpy), since an extension compiled 
for one mode will not work with the other. Annoying if you have a lot 
of extensions.
However, I don't think that UCS4 mode is required for Tkinter -- it 
could just be that the Tkinter you have compiled was compiled against a 
Python of a different unicode mode. (RHEL builds its python packages 
with --enable-unicode=UCS4, so if you're using the RH package for 
Tkinter with a self compiled Python, that may be what you're running into.)
