Pygal (http://www.pygal.org/) is a dynamic SVG charting library written in Python. The biggest advantage of Pygal, in my opinion, is that it produces Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format graphs easily and natively. There are many advantages of SVG over other graph formats, but two of the main advantages are that it is web browser-friendly and it provides scalability without sacrificing image quality. In other words, you can display the resulting image in any modern web browser and zoom in and out of the image without losing the details of the graph. Did I mention that we can do this in a few lines of Python code? How cool is that?
