So, we're at the ass-end of a project (it's final! oh wait... now it's final! except these two shots...) and I started looking into generating some throughput statistics. Graphing in Python is a bit of a pain. After fighting with dependency hell for a while, I got something working. Unfortunately our data isn't particularly good. :-(
But this exercise got me thinking that there must be a better way to visualize things that's much more responsive than querying data, creating a .png, displaying the png. Then, this morning, I saw this:

It looks very promising for visualizing arbitrary data. Putting this together with Shotgun's query builder, or upcoming event stream... many possibilities.
cheers,
