Hot take: ggplot2 is better than any plotting option available in Python-- but I discuss a couple options in Python at an R Stats Club session @libdrstats.bsky.social linked below. I personally use plotnine, since it's essentially a port of ggplot2 for Python.

I've used in our recent @libdrstats.bsky.social and team videos. That's why many are significantly shorter now:

* 12 min saved on an hour long video
* a 20:45 min video to 13:13
* a 40:59 to 27:40
* a 31:49 to 23:52
* a 20:30 to 17:44

Videos are fluid too. I recommend trying out these features!
