============ Introduction ============ Pycha is a very simple Python package for drawing charts using the great `Cairo `_ library. Its goals are: * Lightweight * Simple to use * Nice looking with default values * Customization It won't try to draw any possible chart on earth but draw the most common ones nicely. There are some other options you may want to look at like `pyCairoChart `_. Pycha is based on `Plotr `_ which is based on `PlotKit `_. Both libraries are written in JavaScript and are great for client web programming. I needed the same for the server side so that's the reason I ported Plotr to Python. Now we can deliver charts to people with JavaScript disabled or embed them in PDF reports. Pycha is distributed under the terms of the `GNU Lesser General Public License `_.
