And another option is ploticus  (note this is NOT plplot)
ploticus.sourceforge.net.
Can produce png, jpeg, SVG, and postscript.
Especially well suited for repetitive tasks, as it uses a
non-procedural template language to define charts, and the
data can be sourced from a file or standard input.
Not python, but easy to invoke via os.system.
Very good and extensive documentation.
