figs_base has a bunch of functions that can be used to create figures suitable for IEEE and ACM papers.
Easiest to import as
import figs_base as fg
Or you might want to write a figs.py with your figure code. In this, use
from figs_base import *
This is easier as several of the figs_base functions are intended to be called from other functions which compute specific figures for specific needs...
stats has some basic statistics functions.
