Line smoothing in Python

I'm looking for a line smoothing algorithm in Python; specifically, something which will take the list of data points plotted in the top line in this image and convert it to the bottom line. I've got a list of data points to smooth; I'm not looking to smooth the image of the line. Anyone got any direct suggestions? I'm not much cop at maths things like this.

Jif Lemon Day

Don't forget the pancakes on Jif Lemon Day. I love today.

Waterfall 2006

Is anyone else going to Waterfall 2006? Drew mentioned it, and it looks good. The testing track should be particularly interesting.

Yahoo Developer Network

Did I miss the bit where everyone else discovered the Yahoo Developer Network and forgot to tell me how much stuff there is there? They've BSD-licenced a shedload of JavaScript code as part of the Yahoo UI library, and there are some exceedingly useful design patterns: things like autocomplete textboxes or pagination or tabs and lots and lots of other bits. Normally I'd not be all that interested in things like this precisely because there are strings attached, but it's BSD licenced. That means we can all get ahold of the good stuff. Much kudos, Yahoo, I say.

Fat LugRadio

Apparently LugRadio exists on last.fm, the collaborative music listening service. That's nice. On the other hand, it's been tagged by lots of users, and one of the tags that's been applied to our little radio show is fat. Fuckers.

Party hearty

At the weekend, I celebrated my thirtieth birthday by going to the mediæval banquet at the Tales of Robin Hood in Nottingham, along with Sam, Ade, Jono and Sooz, Bill and Ginny, and my mum and dad. It was great. A really excellent evening. Monsieur Bald has some pictures, and more will be forthcoming. I got to go up on stage and help the juggler bloke with a trick, and for some reason the audience really liked me and took the opportunity to chant my name every time a volunteer was requested. Not quite sure why, but I can't deny enjoying it. Everyone seemed to have a really great night; now to look forward to Bill's 30th! I also garnered much cool loot for presents, including Monkey Picked Tea, a Phobile, Mr T. in my pocket, some Jelly Babies, and a really rather nice new coat. I love birthdays. Thanks all for coming and making it a great party!

LugRadio is on Odeo
