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.
