PyQwt
-----
`PyQwt <http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/>`_ is a solid library for plotting
numerical data. It is built on top of the popular `PyQt <http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/intro>`_ GUI framework.
It typically has better performance than matplotlib, but the range of built-in
chart/plot types is slightly smaller than matplotlib.

The list of packages has grown from a mainly scientific python resource to a more general list. It might be a good idea to check it out if you're on Windows.
