Members of the IRIS-HEP team are working on histogramming technology for Python. The projects are:
- boost-histogram: High performance filling using Boost.Histogram from the Boost C++ libraries.
- Hist: Analysis routines and plotting for histograms, built on top of boost-histogram.
- UHI: Universal Histogram Interface, describing how histogram libraries interact, like these projects and Uproot.
- histoprint: Displaying histograms on the command line.
- mplhep (related): Utilities for HEP plots, including histograms.
- Aghast (on hold): Conversions between Histogram formats, such as boost-histogram and ROOT.
