Sorry, that was an accident. I've reverted it now:

That change got reverted in subsequent update when I changed dict to
return as table by default instead of string. So there's no need to
update the docstring anymore.

Not entirely sure what you mean here.

When ":results graphics file", then graphics-file will be non-nil --
org-babel-execute:python passes graphics-file onto
org-babel-python-evaluate and then
org-babel-python-evaluate-external-process. In case of ":results
graphics file output", org-babel-python--output-graphics-wrapper is used
to save pyplot.gcf(). Or if ":results graphics file value", then
org-babel-python--def-format-value saves the result with
Figure.savefig().
