I can't sleep, so I just whipped to­geth­er a do­cu­tils di­rec­tive that wraps py­gal for Niko­la, my stat­ic site and blog gen­er­a­tor.

So, how do you use it? LIke this:

.. chart:: Bar
    :title: 'Browser usage evolution (in %)'
    :x_labels: ["2002", "2003", "2004", "2005", "2006", "2007"]

    'Firefox', [None, None, 0, 16.6, 25, 31]
    'Chrome',  [None, None, None, None, None, None]
    'IE',      [85.8, 84.6, 84.7, 74.5, 66, 58.6]
    'Others',  [14.2, 15.4, 15.3, 8.9, 9, 10.4]

Which pro­duces this:

You can cus­tom­ize the out­put a lot, be­cause Py­gal is very con­fig­urable, and it sup­ports a very wide va­ri­ety of chart­s.

Al­so, the charts are some­what in­ter­ac­tive, which is nice.

It's a pa­thet­i­cal­ly sim­plis­tic piece of code but it seems to work well :-)
