Python's way of drawing a bump diagram

I have a csv file that contains the data that I want to represent using a bump chart (as an example)

BUT I need to have some control over the formatting and would like to get as close to this as possible on Pythonic (I'm pretty new to Python using 3.5), so wonder if anyone can tell me which graphics package gives me the view that would let me:

  • draw a bump chart
  • specify the font (Gill Sans)
  • specify the number of pixels per centimeter squared (about 10,000)

If anyone has an open source package that works best for me, I would be grateful.

SO I accidentally found my answer in the example I gave. The VERY great person Pascal Schetalat has an EXCELLENT Python implementation using Numpy and Pandas. Here is the link
