A friend of mine is using Django with matplotlib to create graphs from CSV files, and it's turning out pretty well. I haven't yet tried googlecharts, but it looks promising.
The main difficulty he had with Matplotlib was transitioning to Apache/mod_python after working with the Django development server. The Matplotlib commands he was calling worked fine on his desktop, but then complained of a non-existent X11 connection once he tried the code on Apache. The solution is one additional line of code, and is detailed at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#matplotlib-in-a-web-application-serverfor anyone who might have similar problems.
