Nice! A more traditional version of this in the shell that I love to use day to day is bashplotlib: https://github.com/glamp/bashplotlib

Tried to install with Homebrew, got a 500 error. Tried again, got a 503. Third time, got "Empty reply from server".

Bummer, this looked cool.

This could be because Github's having issues with serving archives. See https://status.github.com/

EDIT: Should be working now
