Nils Walther - 

I don't have any specific scripts to share, but here is a process that I
have used in Python to create plots: 

Read the printer output file into Pandas DataFrames 

Process the data using routines in Pandas, numpy, or scipy. 

Plot the data using matplotlib or seaborn 

All of these libraries and techniques are well document in their manuals
or in stackoverflow. 

Regards, 

Tim

Desired diagrams are for example floating average temperature, Übertemperaturgradstunden (if ayone of you is german), zone temperature, heatmaps of zone temperature over a year.
