Tips: Find the Graph you want in using a Graph Gallery

This or similar sites can be helpful for looking up the right code/library for a plot. You can also find library specific ones. (matplotlib, plotly)

One of R’s main plotting libraries, ggplot2, describes plots by layering one component on top of another (e.g. starting with x and y variables, adding points, adding error bars, adding aesthetic adjustments). If that sort of approach appeals to you there is a python version of this library called plotnine (github, example use).
