> If you merge the library projects together Alas, it's not so simple. How much actual overlap is there to merge in Bokeh and Matplotlib, for instance? MPL renders images in Python and has no JS component. Bokeh does all of its ren

That's entirely backwards, to reduce the bus factor, you need more people maintaining less, not fewer people maintaining more. In any case, the incentives are simply not there, as different projects have very different priorities (whic

5+ years and 321 contributors later, I can state that Bokeh was not easy to write. Fairly sure MPL and Plotly devs would disagree with this assessment as well. Python has a multitude of vis systems because there are multiple use-cases, some

MPL is great, but its pretty much only a dependency of Seaborn. It's not a dependency of Bokeh, Altair, or Plotly

I definitely empathize. It's a technically challenging problem, there are lots of competing important priorities, and we are a small team that can only humanly accomplish so much work at once. Our vision for Bokeh was to be able to cre

FYI it's really dead simple to write new "bokeh" command line tools as Bokeh apps now. We already have several ("bokeh html" and "bokeh json") but we are definitely interested in make a gnuplot-like bokeh

I wrote most of the docs, and my default day-to-day python is Python 3, so it's really just a matter of forgetting that "Python 3 ready" is something still needs to be mentioned at all. In fact we even have a python 3 only

If you are looking for an open-souce plot library that works from JS, python, scala (and potentially driven from any language) you should check out Bokeh. http://bokeh.pydata.org

Do you have the tool selected in the toolbar above? If so, please file a ticket on GH about this. Most of the Bokeh devs are on OSX so it would surprise me if it does not work on OSX, but if there is a bug we want to fix it!

The current zoom tool is a scroll wheel zoom, not a box selection zoom. Guessing that might be the issue since others have run into the ambiguous description as well. It will be labeled more precisely in master in a few days and in the next

There are already some tools available, pan and wheel zoom, plot resizing, selection (on some plot types). Many more tool types are planned. As for the architecture, BokehJS is built entirely on top of HTML canvas. The python bokeh library

[Another bokeh dev chiming in] Additional tools like crosshair, data and color inspectors, box zoom, more types of selections (point, lasso, etc), and measurement tools are all planned.
