Help unpickling an old dataset
The issue was described here: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/8409, but the "solution" was just "this is fixed" which was not helpful to me.

Where to find a dynamic charge density animation/simulation?
I will think more about what I want to say next, but for now, I would like to say that I need the super-particles and PIC methods as I think that is the way forward for me. Are there ways to implement these methods in matplotlib, Visit or Paraview? Do I take existing code and import it into those programs to visualize it? Or can I directly program/simulate something in those visualizion tools without needing to import any code?

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.
