Alex,

for a person wanting to develop his or her own charting package, I believe
wxPython is the best bet. Quite easy to create a few classes for the objects

An impressive 3D general purpose charting package written in Python and
easily extensible for financial charting, is, for instance,
http://mayavi.sourceforge.net/screenshots/index.html

Best regards,

Michael Suesserott
