    :movie_camera: Matplotlib animations made easy (by jwkvam)

    Project mention: Show HN: Matplotloom: Weave frames into Matplotlib animations simply and quickly | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-06

    * animatplot [7] is also a nice package for making matplotlib animations. But it relies on `FuncAnimation` and has its own abstractions (blocks) for different plot types so you can't animate every plot type (or plots produced by packages built on top of matplotlib like pandas or Cartopy). It hasn't been maintained since 2020.
