This is installable via

pip install -e https://github.com/olgabot/prettyplotlib.git

Would be cool if the README said so explicitly!

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I no longer have the bandwidth to maintain prettyplotlib. I recommend using seaborn. Using seaborn, to get the prettyplotlib style, do:

import seaborn as sns
sns.set(style='ticks', palette='Set2')

And to remove "chartjunk", do:

sns.despine()

If you have discrete pull requests, I will accept them, but I personally will no longer fix bugs.

If you are a biological scientist looking for ways to analyze your big-ish (20+ samples) data, check out my main project, flotilla.

Thanks Olga! I've been using Seaborn a lot recently, good tips though :-).
