After an hour of researching the Python graphing libraries out there, I decided to go with Matplotlib for the chart generation. It seemed like the most server friendly option because it seems to run fast and it required me to install the least amount of other programs. (Plus this guy really likes it.) [...]

Yeah, weird about the trackbacks not appearning. I’ll check up on my site config to see if anything’s broken. I’ve recently upgraded some stuff so it might very well be the case.

Making Dynamic Charts and Graphs for Your WebPage with Matplotlib

(I linked to this page and did a trackback, it’s strange it didn’t show up here)

Except that:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use(WhateverOutput)

needs to be done first, at least in Debian Sid, since it uses GTK by default :\

matplotlib.use(‘PS’)

plot(…)
…
savefig(“myfile.eps”)

this does not need any display but only generates an .eps file.

If you use the Agg backend, you can run everything from console. Infact, even with the GtkAgg backend, my scripts run perfectly fine from console. So I’m pretty sure its just a configuration issue — try changing your backend.

Does anybody has the solution for putting pylab output in a file? Mail-me. Thanks!
