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.

Many people who do scientific computing are on Windows. And yet many of the scientific computing packages are notoriously difficult to build and install.
`Christoph Gohlke <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/>`_ however, has compiled a list of Windows binaries for many useful Python packages.
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.
