Wes, was just on your blog and see you are also into data visualization. Wondering if you have any recommendations for web based charting tools? I've used flot (jquery plugin), but looking for alternatives. Thanks!
Very interested in d3 integration. Some people (http://github.com/mikedewar/D3py) have already started working in that direction. The IPython HTML notebook makes JavaScript visualization combined with pandas a very attractive option going forward, especially if you can come up with a way to have an interactive plot with backend computations being handled by pandas. pandas currently does not emit JSON; I would live to adapt UltraJSON or another library to turn DataFrame objects into JSON very fast and efficiently.
I've used http://www.amcharts.com (and its mapping companion http://www.ammap.com). It was originally in flash but now there's also a js version (havent tried it yet).
I think i've read here on HN that a new flot fork has been released with jquery requirements but i cant find the link
