I'm pretty sure that there have been multiple attempts to recreate ggplot in python.

I can think of 3-4 off the top of my head.

AFAIK plotnine is the only one with substantial adoption (2.3k stars on github) and active development for several years.

Would be curious to hear which ones you're thinking of (since I wouldn't be surprised if the are others, but also am guessing no others hit both points)

Honestly, I've definitely seen at least 3-4 attempts hit HN over the past nine years or so.

Plotnine is the only one another human has told me about, though.

Altair does Grammar of Graphics and interactivity, and has ~6k stars.
