Cylindrical coordinates plot?

Does anyone know of a Python tool for creating plots using cylindrical coordinates, either with Matplotlib or some other package?

An example:

To somewhat answer my own question, there does not appear to be a Python package that can make this plot out of the box.

I contacted the authors of the report and have learned that the original plot was created using Processing.

I believe you can use the basemap toolkit to do cylindrical projections.

Here is the link to the basemap toolkit page

The desired projection is set with the projection keyword. Default is cyl. There are several other supported projections as well that you may be interested in.
