Usage

>>> from text_histogram import histogram
>>> import random
>>> histogram([random.gauss(50, 20) for _ in xrange(100)])
# NumSamples = 100; Min = 1.42; Max = 87.36
# Mean = 51.848095; Variance = 332.055832; SD = 18.222399; Median 53.239251
# each ∎ represents a count of 1
    1.4221 -    10.0159 [     3]: ∎∎∎
   10.0159 -    18.6098 [     3]: ∎∎∎

Installation

$ pip install data_hacks

Why?

Histograms are great for exploring data, but numpy and matplotlib are heavy and overkill for quick analysis. Don’t even get me started on installing them.
