I need to plot graphs by taking information from the web browser. I have seeen matplotlib, however that gives an error: vcvarsall.bat is not prsent. Apparently i have to install Visual Studio 2008 package. I have tried plot.ly and you can't embed the graphs on to the webpage. What libraries or modules could i use?

Im aware of that. But i can't install VS 2008. I have to look at something else – user2834165 Oct 14 '13 at 11:32

You don't need to, just install visual c++ 2008 or above, and thats free. – Games Brainiac Oct 14 '13 at 11:35

And what about setting the variable? – user2834165 Oct 14 '13 at 12:09

Actually, you do not need to do any of that. Just download from the link above, according to your version of windows, and no problems whatsoever. – Games Brainiac Oct 14 '13 at 14:29

What kind of Graphs you trying to embed in the webpage. If u r collecting some time sensitive data, then i think RRD tool will be good enough. But it entirely depends on the data that u want to generate the graph for..
In case of RRD tool there is a python API also available but which looks almost same to the console commands of RRDtool. :(
