Exporting to Excel via cvs will probably give you all the graphs you need.  If you wanted to generate graphs directly in Python, you might want to try Dislin.

You should be aware that Dislin is _almost_ free.  There are some combinations of operating system and compilers (eg: some Fortrans and C commercial compilers) which require purchasing a license.  But for Python, the home page explains that, "The DISLIN plotting extensions for Java, Python and Perl and the DISLIN interpreter DISGCL can be used freely on all operating systems."

Dislin may be overkill for your application, but I thought I'd pass on the info just in case you weren't aware of it.
