+Gnuplot.py is a Python package that interfaces to gnuplot, the popular
+open-source plotting program. It allows you to use gnuplot from within Python
+to plot arrays of data from memory, data files, or mathematical functions. If
+you use Python to perform computations or as `glue' for numerical programs, you
+can use this package to plot data on the fly as they are computed. And the
+combination with Python makes it is easy to automate things, including to
+create crude `animations' by plotting different datasets one after another.
