SciPy (https://www.scipy.org/) will provide a linear regression for you. In particular, see https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.stats.linregress.html Matplotlib (https://matplotlib.org/) is a good tool for plotting graphs. I suggest starting with those. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
