How to show pandas data on a d3 style webpage?

Question

I have quite a few parsing analysis procedures in python. I would like to start by posting these online, possibly with d3js. I am a complete newbie. Several searches revealed packages like vincent. It seems like python is web development with django. Should I somehow transform my science scripts into django? Do I need to somehow combine them with vincent and django? Does anyone know of any tutorials on this topic? I find it difficult to determine how to get started and which packages to use.

Django is a good way to go if you want to create a fully functional web application. Pandas allows you to transfer DataFrame and Series data in JSON format, which can then be interpreted and displayed using D3, for example.

Some potentially useful browsing links include:

• django-nvd3
• django-rest-pandas

Some good Django tutorials also include:

• Tango with Django
• Django Project
