Pygal has been ported to Javascript[1] and can be embedded in arbitrary web pages. I don't know quite what to make of that. Though the implementation in trinket.io[2] is pretty cool [1] https://github.com/trinketapp/pygal.js/ https://github.com/trinketapp/pygal.js/ [2] https://trinket.io/charts https://trinket.io/charts

  Bloody hell. Last time I looked at skulpt I judged it as an 'interesting toy'. But it's dawned on me that I'm watching a fully client-side Python app. And at 80kb it's not unrealistic to think about using it in production. Crikey...

Very nice hover effects. I have only one gripe with them though: The transitions should be way faster. .3 seconds max., possibly less.

this is the first i have heard of this library, but i look forward to experimenting with it because it has an important use case: creating 'native' plots etc in the ipython notebook. ipynb which has an impressive display system, eg, to view svg within the notebook: from IPython.display import SVG SVG(filename='plot-made-from-pygal.svg') alternatively, you could use ipython's HTML display: from IPython.display import HTML and inject the pygal-created SVG into your own HTML template--a particularly nice option because ipython notebook is html rendered in a browser.

Found this great library when trying to play with and visualise some data recently[1]. One of the easiest way to create a nice graph from pure python. [1] https://github.com/lebinh/aws-usage-report-analyser https://github.com/lebinh/aws-usage-report-analyser

The following libraries target Python runtime instead of the browser: - http://bokeh.pydata.org/index.html http://bokeh.pydata.org/index.html - http://vispy.org/ http://vispy.org/

I'd really like the 'try it online' to be able to easily save the output so that I could have students use it to create their charts and then save them...

Ugh. No 2.7 support
