abf.info()

Plot all sweeps with matplotlib:

import pyabf
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
abf=pyabf.ABF("filename.abf")
plt.figure(figsize=(8,4))
for sweepNumber in abf.sweepList:
  abf.setSweep(sweepNumber)
  plt.plot(abf.dataX,abf.dataY)
plt.ylabel(abf.unitsLong)
plt.xlabel(abf.unitsTimeLong)
plt.title(abf.ID)
plt.margins(0,.1)
plt.show()
