Are there any videos of this program in action?

EDIT: User dpedu put up a video of it in their comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21853137

Plotnine is quite nice. Its api is very similar to R's ggplot so it gives you the same level of expressiveness and flexibility while being able to stay the Python ecosystem to use numpy, pandas, etc..

It is still being used as of Spring 2018.

Great class.

I'm getting the same behaviour on Ubuntu 16.04 with gcc version 7.2.0.

Edit: There seems to be an issue for this with a fix. https://github.com/jmoon018/PacVim/issues/28

I too am interested in what the differences are. I have used the yhathq ggplot library for a while and it is quite useful but I sometimes find it lacking certain types of plots and documentation.

Also the last commit to the yhathq ggplot library was on Nov 20, 2016, so this library looks like it is currently more active in development.

Edit: Someone made an article comparing the two here: http://pltn.ca/plotnine-superior-python-ggplot/
