a full set of Python libraries for data plotting and data analysis.

:mod:`plotpy` is based on:

* `Python`_ language and `Qt`_ GUI toolkit (via `PySide`_ or `PyQt`_)
* `guidata`_ automatic GUI generation library (`PlotPyStack`_ project)
* `PythonQwt`_ plotting widgets library (`PlotPyStack`_ project)
* `NumPy`_ and `SciPy`_ scientific computing libraries
