Greetings data junkies! We’re going to do another cool project with Python. Today I will show you how to draw graphs with Python and Matplotlib. Not only that but we’re going to use a SQLite (my favorite) database to back it all. So we’ll load data into a database and pull it back out and make awesome graphs with it, all with Python. What we’re doing in this tutorial Setting up our Python Environment Getting statistical data and putting it into ..read more
