Venn Diagrams with google charts

I recently had the need to view some data sets as venn diagrams, so I found google's chart api and hacked out a little AJAX application to do so, you can try it out here. And, for the fun of it, a VERY simple Python implementation:

import urllib
from PIL import Image
import StringIO

def venn_diagram_url(a, b, c, width=400, height=200):
   values = [width, height, len(a), len(b), len(c)]
   values.append(len(a & b))
   values.append(len(a & c))
   values.append(len(c & b))
   values.append(len(a & b & c))
   base_str = 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?'
   args_str = 'cht=v&chs=%sx%s&chd=t:%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s'   
   return base_str + (args_str % tuple(values))
  
a = set((1, 2, 3))
b = set((2, 4))
c = set((3, 4, 5))

data = StringIO.StringIO(urllib.urlopen(venn_diagram_url(a, b, c)).read())
Image.open(data).show()

Not much to it... But maybe someone will find it useful.
