How do I assign multiple labels at once in matplotlib?

Question

I have the following dataset:

x = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
y = [ [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
      [5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
      [9, 8, 7, 6, 5] ]

Now I plot it with:

I came over the same problem and now I found a solution that is most easy! Hopefully that's not too late for you. No iterator, just assign your result to a structure...

from numpy import *
from matplotlib.pyplot import *
from numpy.random import *

a = rand(4,4)
a
>>> array([[ 0.33562406,  0.96967617,  0.69730654,  0.46542408],
   [ 0.85707323,  0.37398595,  0.82455736,  0.72127002],
   [ 0.19530943,  0.4376796 ,  0.62653007,  0.77490795],
   [ 0.97362944,  0.42720348,  0.45379479,  0.75714877]])

[b,c,d,e] = plot(a)
legend([b,c,d,e], ["b","c","d","e"], loc=1)
show()

Looks like this:
