I'm happy to see you're evaluating Diagra - if you need any more help
feel free to ask, or contact us on enquiries at reportlab.com if you
don't want to chat on a public list.

It runs for me (after changing the password!) and produces a
subdirectory called 'output', with 3 charts called  pleaserun.eps,
pleaserun.gif,  pleaserun.pdf.  But normally fileNamePattern would
have a '%s' or '%03d' or something in it, so that the chart ID can be
substituted in to get multiple filenames.    Your current code will be
creating a file "pleaserun.pdf" repeatedly. If you set
    self.fileNamePattern = 'pleaserun%03d'
...you'll get lots of numbered charts.

Try "python mychart.py --verbose" - the output shows where it is
putting the charts and what it is calling them.
