I am trying to learn web programming in python and mean the following project: my yahoo finance api for tool data and its real-time display, as well as graphical charts based on tool data.
I have already done something similar using wxpython, and I am interested in how to do this in a web application.
My first thought was to use django and matplotlib on the server, and the client request updated the graphics via jquery after a certain period of time, but after a little research I came across libraries like twisted and tornado ... and now I'm confused. Will they work better for this web application than django?
After the above, I wonder: what library should I use to write the web application that I have in mind? I also think I should give up matplotlib and create a client-side diagram, but I'm not sure if the javascript library will let me do this, if any.
