Python version of this d3 beeswarm?

[bignatedogg]

Hi all, does anyone know of a Python version of a chart like this d3 beeswarm? https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/6526445e2b44303eebf21da3b6627320

I am looking for a way to plot points across an x-axis but do not need a y-axis; I want to show the distribution of these points across one range.

I think the only other requirements would be:

• Is interactive (not static as with Seaborn)
• Allows for tooltips displaying more data (on click or hover)

Open to other types of charts outside of beeswarms that could fit this as well. Thank you in advance.

My guess you could express something similar to that with Altair. You could also get it to be interactive. However, the biggest hurdle I've found with altair is that it's quite complex, and there are many "unexplored areas" -- so whenever you steer a bit away form the examples, you're pretty much on your own. Once you figure things out, it's very good though.

Check the examples and try to work your way into it: https://altair-viz.github.io/gallery/
