Data visualization in Python

[kj]

I'm looking for a good Python package for visualizing
scientific/statistical data. (FWIW, the OS I'm interested in is
Mac OS X).

The users of this package will be experimental biologists with
little programming experience (but currently learning Python).

(I normally visualize data using R or Mathematica, but I don't want
to saddle these novices with the task of learning yet another
language.)

TIA!

Matplotlib is the one. There is Google Chart api which seems fairly
easy to understand and use thanks to pygooglechart bindings.

You might also look into the pythonxy superpackage, http://www.pythonxy.com/foreword.php
and http://enthought.com.

Please take a look at the amcharts embedding in WHIFF

WHIFF is a collection of support services for WSGI
applications which allows applications to be composed
by "dropping" dynamic pages into container directories.
