Could use help integrating map visualizations for zip code data.

For example in some ipython notebooks, an analysis would go well with a map displaying (perhaps a heat map) certain values across the LA county.

I've only created heat maps with R unfortunately. but for python maybe try this? http://www.quora.com/What-are-good-Python-libraries-to-generate-heat-maps

Thanks for the suggestion although I believe matplotlib can already create heatmaps. I actually meant a heatmap on top of a geographical map. I have recently started reading about D3 because I think it may have a nice solution.

Something like this: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4060606

But for the LA county (or whatever the relevant span of area is for these zip codes).

I think I might be looking for geojson data.

@Nixonite wanna come to MaptimeLA on Thursday? we will be doing mapping by county stuff for this project: http://www.meetup.com/MaptimeLA/events/224694220/?a=ra1_vl&_af=event&_af_eid=224694220

MAYBE. Likely too busy.
