I'm having some serious trouble getting this working. I've discovered that it has no unit tests, and where the docs say "Make cloudviz.py web-accessible using your favorite HTTP server" it apparently means using CGI, not WSGI as I'd assumed.

Am I correct that this requires python 2.6??

This also appears to require Django, though the docs don't say so, for from django.utils import simplejson. Perhaps making this an actual Python package would help?

I'm not actively developing cloudviz, but I'll gladly review PRs to remove some of the jankiness. About a year ago I took a pass at a more generalized framework, babelchart. Maybe give that a try?

@jantman you should checkout this guide

Cloudviz is written to use the simplejson functionality of Django. However you can avoid the overhead of installing Django by altering two lines in cloudviz.py:
