Here's an example use, assuming you save makechart.py somewhere in your PATH:
try: import json
except: import simplejson as json
import urllib
import makechart
# chart with world petroleum production data by month from EIA
url = 'http://quandyfactory.com/json/makechart'
output = urllib.urlopen(url)
contents = output.read()
dataset = json.loads(contents)
caption = 'World Oil Production by Month, 2001-2010
(Source: EIA)'
unit = 'mbpd'
chart = makechart.make_chart(dataset, caption, unit)
html = makechart.make_html(chart)
file = open('makechart_example.html', 'w')
file.write(html)
file.close
Note: for the sake of convenience, this example uses a sample dataset in JSON format that is hosted on this website.
