Rest assured I wouldn't be bothering if it felt like work!

The description makes it sound like an executable; I had to read the
homepage to be sure it was a library. (Not being a Pythonist I
always expect those to have package names like "libfoo-lang".)
Wait, this is a *different* Python charting library from
python-pychart? Yes, clearly it is.

Description: simple chart-drawing library
It will after all have Cairo (libcairo2 or python-cairo?) in its
dependencies and long description; Python also has a debtag and is
already signalled twice in the packagename!

PyCha is a Python library for drawing a variety of charts (pie, line,
or bar) using Cairo as backend. It aims to be:
Or if "pie, line, bar" is an incomplete list, that should be "(pie,
line, bar, etc.)".

For consistency with the other adjectives:
- Customizable.
(But personally I'd avoid a bulleted list for something this basic:
"It aims to be simple, flexible, lightweight and attractive.")

"Any possible X on earth" is a slightly sprained idiom. The second
"draw" there should be "draws" or "will draw". And "nice" is faint
praise, especially when repeated. Neatly? If it's "bonita", maybe:
It can't draw every kind of chart imaginable but it does draw the
commonest ones prettily.
