Plug for plotnine (https://plotnine.readthedocs.io/en/stable/). I don't know R but use ggplot indirectly through this library for exploratory data analysis, and comparing the experience to any other python plotting library, I understand why R folks are usually so sad to be using Python.

Plotnine makes Python possible for EDA stuff. I mean pandas is still worse than the tidyverse, but at least you use ggplot.
