Hello to all,
I have some charts created with matplotlib and I would like to
include them in my Django application.
What is the considered best practices in order to do that?
I'm considering processing the data and generating PNG files in
"temporary" locations, so I when the chart file is created I just
need to refer to it in the template.
This could create a problem because I would need to remove the
chart file after a while, or even better, when the user logs out
of the application. I did a quickly search in this group archive
and couldn't find anything close related to this. It doesn't look
simple to execute any kind of task when the user logs out
(signals?) and there is a the risk of users just closing their
browsers (which will require that I use crontab or something like
it to delete old files).
Another possibility is to just open a new browser window and
include in the response only the image itself.
Is there any better way to implement that?
Do you have any reason to keep the charts that are generated? You may
be better off using JS to render the chart on the client side, then
you don't have to worry about managing files. Maybe something like
Flot charts? There's a ton of these libraries out there.

Well, besides having to learn a new API and not reusing the read-to-use
code from matplotlib? :-)
Just kidding, it makes sense to use client-side for that and avoiding
the temporary files problem completely but I really would like to reuse
what is already implemented, unless it gives more trouble than using
something like Flot.
