Wow, that is one hell of a visually spiffy site.  Can't find any links
to development repositories, but in terms of targeting end users, the
author (because it looks like a single-person job, given the many "I"
references) has done a solid job.

Sites like this remind me that we really should put a bit more effort
into the 'marketing' aspect of our sites.  From what I can tell,
circos is very nice but has nowhere the technical depth,  complexity
and flexibility of matplotlib.  It's a fairly narrowly targeted tool.
But a site like that makes it really appealing to people.

Thanks for that link, Nelle!

Cheers,
