I hardly know where to start either. I use R, Python, rpy, gnuplot-py
and gnuplot together and am very happy with the result. I find that
each piece has it own strengths and together they provide a very
powerful solution. I am currently working on integrating TA-lib into
this mix via a project started by Andrea Malagoli--see the
r-sig-finance archives.
