[BioPython] Re: Plotting with Python

[Andrew Perry]

I've been using this Gnuplot.py package
(http://www-heller.harvard.edu/~mhagger/Gnuplot/Gnuplot.html),
seems to do the job, including interactive updating. . . probably 
similar to SciPy's Gnuplot interface I guess.
You need Gnuplot installed of course ....
