Python Google Chart Wrapper

NEWS: The new version 0.3 is out and is now compatible with data scaling. See ChartExamples for API example guides

Easily create Google charts using python syntax and datasets.

Python wrapper for the Google Chart API. The wrapper can render the URL of the Google chart, based on your parameters, or it can render an HTML img tag to insert into webpages on the fly. Made for dynamic python websites (Django,Zope,CGI,etc.) that need on the fly chart generation without any extra modules. The wrapper SHOULD also work with Eastwood the Google Chart API workalike.

G = GChart('p3', [5,10])
G.title('Hello Pie')
G.color('ff0000','00ff00')
G.label('hello', 'world')

Generates an object that can render/save the chart in many ways. The most useful is display on a website

Google made their internal chart library available to the public:

The kicker? It all works using urls. You simply embed an image pointing to their chart engine at http://chart.apis.google.com/chart and pass parameters with your data. This got to be one of the most clever internet API’s yet.
