I have made available a port of the PyX Python graphics creation library at:

  http://tratt.net/laurie/obsd/ports/py-pyx.tar.gz  

>From the blurb:

  PyX is a Python package for the creation of PostScript and PDF files. It
  combines an abstraction of the PostScript drawing model with a TeX/LaTeX
  interface. Complex tasks like 2d and 3d plots in publication-ready quality
  are built out of these primitives.

Basically, it creates graphics, and farms them out to TeX for rendering
(with all the associated goodies that implies). It's not perfect (it does
die occasionally when calling TeX), but it's mostly OK; the results it
produces are of excellent quality, particularly when compared to the often
rather random output from py-matplotlib.

Tested on amd64 and i386, both -current. I welcome reports from other
platforms.
