Rails - Feb 2006 - Plotting library

Hi,
   I''m fairly new to Rails and am moving from PHP. I am looking for a
way to generate generate image plots on a Webpage. I have looked at SVG::Graph,
but it doesn''t look nearly as flexible or functional as jpGraph, which
I use in PHP (http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/).
I also generate some more complex graphs using matplotlib via Python
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html. Is there any way to call a
Python script from within Rails? All the data will be dynamically generated from
a database.

Thanks for any guidance.
Mike
