I'm building an application in django and I'd like to have a reports section. The charts will be used to disply numerical values between different dates.

I tried GoogleChartWrapper but I'm looking something more flexible and nicer.

Thanks.

Not really a django question - just use a javascript plotting package and stick it in your django app in the usual way (.js goes into your media files, javascript includes go into your templates for headers etc). Then write django templates that dump your data into whatever the plot package needs - probably javascript.

I've used flot for this, but for something really shiny there's protovis which is something I might use next time!

Thanks for your answer. I'm looking through different javascript chart packages but the ones I like have license for commercial use. Open-flash-chart(http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart/gallery-pie.php) has pretty nice pie charts but i'm not sure about using flash in my app.

If you want something powerful I suggest to take a look at matplotlib. This may be also useful: matplotlib and Django.
