Description

The Python visualization landscape has a couple of really great libraries for doing data visualization, but most everyone defaults to always using the same library for all their pictures. This talk will give an overview of the philosophies underpinning matplotlib, chaco, bokeh, vispy, vincent, and d3py and discuss what sort of applications each library is best suited for.
