We’re working on the interactivity, but we’re not going to do a Python wrapper as the goal of Observable Framework (and Plot) is to leverage web technologies with JavaScript in the front-end for interactive graphics — while doing whatever language you like, including Python, on the back-end for data analysis. There is a R wrapper for Observable Plot (https://github.com/juba/obsplot https://github.com/juba/obsplot) and so I imagine someone could write one for Python, but ultimately we don’t think you’ll need it with Framework’s polyglot data loaders since you can seamlessly move between languages (front-end and back-end).

- mbostock 3y agoAh, that’s what I thought at first, but I googled for “obsplot” and found the R one and thought I misremembered. Thank you for the correction.
