The aim of d3py is to provide a simple way to plot data from the command line or simple scripts into a browser window.
d3py accomplishes this by building on two excellent packages. The first is d3.js (Mike Bostock), which is a javascript library for creating data driven documents, which allows us to place arbitrary svg into a browser window. The second is the pandas Python module (Wes Mckinney), which blesses Python with (amongst other things) the DataFrame data structure.
The idioms used to plot data are very simple, and borrow from R's ggplot2 (Hadley Wickham) and Python's matplotlib (John Hunter et al).
