In my opinion, *no*, if Bokeh does what we need and has its own community maintaining it, that's a better option than us trying to do it ourselves. And while I'm normally extremely hesitant to add more dependencies (I know Johnathan feels the same way), this is different as its an OOT module (at least for now). If the determination is that Bokeh is a good fit, then by all means lets use it. The point I was trying to make (and the one that I think Marcus, Bastian, and Martin were making), is that it is preferable to architect this such that the interface to "the GNU Radio domain" is as agnostic to Bokeh as possible; we want to maximize the reusability of this effort down the road if for whatever reason we do something not-in-Bokeh. Now, whether or not "Bokeh is a good fit" might still be up for debate, but I see Sebastian just responded on that topic. Cheers, Ben
