This looks like a great plotting library but I'm pretty put off by your phrase 'learn some Python along the way'. Is this more for non-python people ?

Changing the API meaning I have to rewrite my code ? This is a huge burden.

Hey! Thanks a lot for checking it out! I meant it as in learning Python myself while I was making it :) As to the API, I've added "stability" indicators for every plotting method in the README, and the most unstable features (panes) have warnings. I'm not sure how to deal with breaking changes if I make any (again, probably only to the 'panes' functions). I think I'll create a new release (so 3.n.n to 4.0.0 for example) and state it as clearly as possible in the commits. Of course my priority during development is avoiding such changes. Please let me know any thoughts on how to do better!
