What is the best approach to creating a statistics plotter?

I am working on a project for my Data Analysis class and have been given the instructions to create a simple statistics plotter. The goal of this project is to create a program that takes in a dataset and returns two graphs (histogram and boxplot) plus some statistical information. The dataset is comprised of 100+ random integers each separated by a comma. My question now is what should be my approach to this problem? I am proficient in Python and have written a similar program for a previous project. I am looking for the best way to implement this. Should I use matplotlib for the graphing or a different graphing library? Is there a simpler way to get the data from the user besides using the input() function in the program? And what should I include in the statistical information for the dataset? <br><br>&#x200B;
