Vega-Altair: Declarative Visualization in Python
Feel free to open an issue to let us know which parts of the documentation you find obscure and if you have suggestions for how to improve them. We did a larger overhaul a few months back and are always open to feedback on how to improve it further! https://altair-viz.github.io/

Gnuplotlib: Non-Painful Plotting for NumPy
Vega-Altair is pretty great as well. It uses a grammar of graphics that’s slightly different from ggplot, but has most of the same advantages.

If you had to pick a library from another language (Rust, JS, etc.) that isn’t currently available in Python and have it instantly converted into Python for you to use, what would it be?
Yeah, that's one of the main reasons I like altair. It has 10M downloads per month and the newest Git update is from two days ago.

Best tools for good looking tables and piecharts
Seaborn is based on matplotlib and quite modern. Coming from R and used to ggplot (which is also available in python) I really like it.

Which Python visualization module to use for research-quality graphs?
If you're familiar with R, there's always ggplot.

Plotting in R's ggplot2 vs Python's Matplotlib: Is it just me or is ggplot2 WAY smoother of an experience than Matplotlib?
I'd agree in that it's a well-specified language for defining graphics; it's not very good with rendering performance. There are packages which try to achieve similar goals in Python as well (ggplot / ggpy) and packages like Seaborn. Though, like you, I use R for lots of EDA. Hard to beat data.table and R graphics for speed and expressiveness. I prefer base graphics though; ggplot2 tends to render too slowly for any data sets I work with.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Altair and ggplot you can also consider the following projects:
plotly - The interactive graphing library for Python :sparkles: This project now includes Plotly Express!
bokeh - Interactive Data Visualization in the browser, from Python
seaborn - Statistical data visualization in Python
plotnine - A Grammar of Graphics for Python
matplotlib - matplotlib: plotting with Python
folium - Python Data. Leaflet.js Maps.
Flask JSONDash - :snake: :bar_chart: :chart_with_upwards_trend: Build complex dashboards without any front-end code. Use your own endpoints. JSON config only. Ready to go.
