I just found this plotting library by JetBrains that has a grammar of graphics interface (like plotnine). This will make a nice alternative for matplotlib for my research.
I've never liked the Python ggplot-like alternatives. The plot construction always felt limited and I'd run into weird bugs. However, this looks the closest to ggplot in how the plots are constructed. I dislike R but the tidy verse + ggplot combo is just so good. I end up using Python and r together a lot, so having even a half decent ggplot-python could be great. Has anyone with significant ggplot experience used this and can comment on how close it really is?
