Python for Information Visualization

[Umesh Persad]

Hi,
  Thanks for the reply. Processing is good for sketching,
but it might not be appropriate for handling large amounts
of data. I have data sets that are huge, and as such it might
choke. Also processing is in alpha stages, so I am not sure how
much I can rely on it for stability.
