  1. Seems like plotnine renders plots using matplotlib and has matplotlib as a dependency: https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine/blob/f6f5cb424f38329c5267...

  3. To your last point, have you tried plotnine? It's meant to be ggplot2 for python. https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine

  4. …"mpg", color="factor(gear)")) + geom_point() + stat_smooth(method="lm") + facet_wrap("~gear")) From https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine , their front page examples. I get that it's ripping off the ggplot api, but why would they not alias…

  5. There are Python ports of ggplot (e.g. plotnine ( https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine )), but agreed, Python is behind here. I'm not the best at data viz, but I can usually piece together a way to make ggplot do what I want it to do without…

  6. Data scientists at my previous company switched to https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine when we made a big push to python. Bit closer api to ggplot than Altair.

  8. I'm partial to plotnine ( https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine ). It is an implementation of grammar of graphics in python (like ggplot2). It provides a stateless layer like interface which feels intuitive, and avoids bugs due to global…

  11. …into Python options I had thought plotnine was dead, but looking at the GitHub that's not the case: https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine I'll give it a shot! :)

    comment by waynenilsen · 2018-07-03 · in Plotnine is the best Python implementation of R's ggplot2
  13. https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine matches the ggplot2 API and philosophy very closely and returns good results. It's not as polished as ggplot2 but is excellent for day-to-day work. The author also accepts PR's and is quick to respond to…

  14. For ggplot2 there is plotnine https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine (disscussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14430447 ) Also Python is not a "statistician" language so the adoption there is very slow.
