https://github.com/sirrice/pygg provides the ggplot2 syntax in Python as a wrapper around Wickham's R implementation. It is useful if you 1) want the R syntax, 2) program in Python, 3) just want static plots.
Recreating and keeping up with Hadley's hard work is challenging, particularly because ggplot2's layout and extensions are really nice and continue to evolve.
As an alternative that preserves the full power of Wickham's implementation, pygg[1] is a Python wrapper that provides R's ggplot2 syntax in Python and runs everything in R.
