In my opinion the best choice for this task would be RRDtool <http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/>. It has its own Python bindings, though they're a bit ugly because their usage strongly resembles rrdtool command line options. Luckily there's PyRRD <http://code.google.com/p/pyrrd/>, object-oriented wrapper for the bindings which is more pythonic. Though I must admint that the last time I have used RRDtool was more than a year ago, so I don't know what the situation with the bindings is at the moment. (Back then RRDtool version was 1.2.x and right now it's 1.3.x.) -- Audrius Kažukauskas
