Introducing plotly.py 3.0.0

I want to use plotly so badly but I don't want to sink an investment into another sticky commercial ecosystem -- I've had to do that with Mathematica and Matlab, I don't want to do it again. How good/bad is plotly in comparison?

Obviously python itself is open, I mean the API :-)

Actually, you don't need to sink any investment into a commercial ecosystem here!

plotly.py and the plotly.js rendering library are both MIT licensed, developed in the open on GitHub, and totally self-contained.

Everything in the technology stack used in the announcement post is free, open source, self-contained, usable offline, and doesn't require an account. The plot.ly cloud integration is totally optional.

Cool! I'll have to give it a look then!

It's completely open and that's amazing. The ability to design plot.ly plots offline in a jupyter notebook and easily deploy it to our reporting website (Using Dash) is so quick and easy. Even the default interactive elements is plenty for most use cases.
