Well, I think the wording "package" is quite familiar for Python
users. However, looking at other python packages, the wording used is
more often "library". So, I keep your proposition.

Yes, it is. pychart is more complete but its rendering is more
old-fashioned.

Fine for me.

For the moment, this is a complete list. In the SVN version, there is an
additional kind of chart.

If I summarize (again, spaces are not revelant):
Package: python-pycha
Description: simple chart-drawing library
Pycha is a Python library for drawing a variety of charts (pie, line,
or bar) using Cairo as backend. It aims to be simple, flexible,
lightweight and attractive. It can't draw every kind of chart
imaginable but it does draw the commonest ones prettily.
Thanks for your feedback !
