Easiest ways to generate graphs from Python?

Question

I'm using Python to process CSV files filled with data that I want to run calculations on, and then graph. I'm looking for a library to use that I can send processed CSV information to, or a dict of some sort, and then choose different graphing styles with.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Solution 1

I'm personally using matplotlib and am very happy with it.

Solution 2

Matplotlib and Gnuplot.py are popular choices. I've used both.

Solution 3

For client-side charts Open Flash Chart or Google Charts Tools.

Solution 4

I've been using matplotlib for about 3 years now to plot experimental data. Before I was using Excel and that was just a pain. I've been happy with matplotlib ever since. It's great and very powerful.

Solution 5

There is pychart or PyCha, both of which I have not used but have been considering myself.
