This seems quite similar to plotnine [0], which also provides a grammar of graphics interface for Python. That said, I love ggplot and I can't wait to use this in my research! I hope we can port/re-implement ggthemes, scientificplots [1], and other ggplot libraries for lets-plot.

There is [plotnine](https://plotnine.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) which tries to implement ggplot in Python.

You could use plotnine if you like the grammar of graphics concept: https://plotnine.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

> Python doesn’t yet have anything remotely close to ggplot for rapidly making exploratory graphics, for example.
