I made a two minor changes

 * dataTable is renamed to data_table to be consistent with matplotlib
   function naming.

 * I moved Cell into table.py and removed cell.py

If I could impose on you one more time.  I would like to add a table
screenshot to the web page.  Something along the lines of the first
table example you sent (with the stacked bar chart) but using
data_table to build the table.  The code should be as simple as
possible since we want to emphasize the ease of use.  Do you have some
data you can use to make a table that can be displayed on the web?  I
have a data dir in the examples dir that I use to distribute data.
