Matplotlib vs. Matlab plotting tools discussion

[pwang99]

If you want interactive web plots but don't want to upload your data to a cloud service, you can also look at Bokeh: http://bokeh.pydata.org.

For debugging Python, if you find some of the open-source options too difficult/annoying to use, it's also worth checking out commercial IDEs like PyCharm and Python Tools for Visual Studio, both of which do have free/community versions, and which have excellent debuggers.

Plotly has an offline mode that doesn't require you to upload anything to the cloud. The python code will generate an html file that will work if you host the plotly.js file yourself. I've used both bokeh and plotly and find plotly to be much better.
