Hi all. Question: I have a project nearly complete written in VB.Net using charts from 3rd party vendors...expensive, yes, fast, not really. The data I am plotting is about 30 columns by 3000-9000 rows, all in a tab delimited file(43 files total). My question is whether or not I can accomplish the same in Python utilizing Matplotlib or Chaco for plotting, at a much faster speed. In my app it takes a while to loop through all the rows/columns to plot the data. Im just curious whether there may be a big boost in performance using python. Also I use spreadsheet style grids for displaying data. I was looking at the grid control for wxpython and that seems a nice fit. Anyone with experience with it have any opinions, Id appreciate them. Alot of the programming I do deals with crunching data and charting it. Sometimes I wonder whether python would be a much better canidate for this type of work rather than what Im using now.
Thanks. Tom -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
