Recently, celluloid caught my eye:
it's a package that lets you create matplotlib animations easily!
If you need a dead-simple example to convince you to check it out, here's one lifted straight from the repository:
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt from celluloid import Camera fig = plt.figure() camera = Camera(fig) for i in range(10): plt.plot([i] * 10) camera.snap() animation = camera.animate()
But seriously though,
if you use the workhorse Python drawing package matplotlib for anything,
this package can be considered to be
one of those "great tricks to have" in your bag!
