A Python implementation of the "Raincloud plot"! See: https://github.com/RainCloudPlots/RainCloudPlots
You can install it via pip:
pip install ptitprince
or via conda:
conda install -c conda-forge ptitprince
or by cloning this repository and running the following from the root of it:
python setup.py install
or directly from GitHub
pip install git+https://github.com/pog87/PtitPrince

This is a Python version of the "Raincloud plot" (or "PetitPrince plot", depending on the orientation) from R (under ggplot2) to Python. The Raincloud plot is a variant of the violin plot written in R ggplot2 by Micah Allen. I found a tweet asking for a Python version of the Raincloud plot, and I agreed to give it a try. Alas, the Python version for ggplot2 (plotnine) does not allow to create new styles in a comfortable way. So I decided to write this package using the seaborn library as a foundation.
Then I replicated the plots from the original post by Micah Allen, in Jupyter Notebooks and transformed that code into a Python package.
Since then, the package has received some publicity, and is for example listed in "awesome-python-data-science".
* PtitPrince now relies on seaborn 0.10 and numpy >= 1.13
* kwargs can be passed to the [cloud (default), boxplot, rain/stripplot, pointplot]
by preponing [cloud_, box_, rain_, point_] to the argument name.
* End of support for python2, now the support covers python>=3.6
ask seaborn mantainers to add this new plot type(not gonna happen)add a "move" option in seabon to control the positioning of each plot, as in ggplot2.(either, added in ptitprince)get RainCloud published(done!)- add logarithmic density estimate (LDE) to the options for the cloud
- add the repeated measure feature
