One important requirement for me is that the text looks good (antialiased, etc.) Postscript output for inclusion with TeX documents Embeddable in a graphical user interface for application development Code should be easy enough that I can understand it and extend it Making plots should be easy Finding no package that suited me just right, I did what any self-respecting Python programmer would do: rolled up my sleeves and dived in.
