Hi,
Most of the tasks you have to do can be achieved quite easily with the
standard library (except the plotting).

you maybe want to use collections.counter for that[3]. Anyways, I
think matplotlib can handle the counting for you…

I use matplotlib for this purpose, have a look at their gallery[4] to
decide what kind of plot best fits your needs.
I'd recommend to install ipython and start playing around with the
modules I just told you. If you are stuck somewhere read the
documentation properly (it's actually all in there) and come back
again if you cannot come up with a solution.
Hope this helps,
Thomas Bach.
