I'm looking for a tool which will take a dataset of tuples indicating
the year of birth and death of a person:
(1872, 1950, "Sri Aurobindo")
(1821, 1910, "Mary Baker Eddy")
(1831, 1891, "HP. Blavatksy")
And graph them out, in bars, annotating them with the person's name.
A simple spreadsheet would've worked, but they seem to start from
zero. Thus, I would only be able to indicate the span of life (by
subtracting death year from birth year).
Certainly a "Hi-Tech Shaman" can whip something up to do this, right?

P. S. you will need look for something like a high-low graph or do something
custom. I've used ReportLab's Graphing module quite effectively. All depends
on what format you want the output to be in.
