I'm the one supporting CairoPlot and I'm very proud it came up here. Surely matplotlib is great, but I believe CairoPlot is better looking. So, for presentations and websites, it's a very good choice.

Today I released version 1.1. If interested, check it out at CairoPlot v1.1

EDIT: After a long and cold winter, CairoPlot is being developed again. Check out the new version on GitHub.
