Bokeh vs. Matplotlib vs. pandas vs. zope.interface Comparison Chart

Bokeh makes it simple to create common plots, but also can handle custom or specialized use-cases. Plots, dashboards, and apps can be published in web pages or Jupyter notebooks. Python has an incredible ecosystem of powerful analytics tools: NumPy, Scipy, Pandas, Dask, Scikit-Learn, OpenCV, and more. With a wide array of widgets, plot tools, and UI events that can trigger real Python callbacks, the Bokeh server is the bridge that lets you connect these tools to rich, interactive visualizations in the browser. Microscopium is a project maintained by researchers at Monash University. It allows researchers to discover new gene or drug functions by exploring large image datasets with Bokeh’s interactive tools. Panel is a tool for polished data presentation that utilizes the Bokeh server. It is created and supported by Anaconda. Panel makes it simple to create custom interactive web apps and dashboards by connecting user-defined widgets to plots, images, tables, or text.

pandas is a fast, powerful, flexible and easy to use open source data analysis and manipulation tool, built on top of the Python programming language. Tools for reading and writing data between in-memory data structures and different formats: CSV and text files, Microsoft Excel, SQL databases, and the fast HDF5 format. Intelligent data alignment and integrated handling of missing data: gain automatic label-based alignment in computations and easily manipulate messy data into an orderly form.Aggregating or transforming data with a powerful group by engine allowing split-apply-combine operations on data sets. Time series-functionality: date range generation and frequency conversion, moving window statistics, date shifting and lagging. Even create domain-specific time offsets and join time series without losing data.
