It looks like in python there is more than one way to make a pie
chart.  Here's another

from pylab import figure, pie, show
N, red, blue = 500, 100, 300
green = N - (red + blue)
figure(figsize=(6,6))
pie( (red, blue, green),
     labels=('red', 'blue', 'green'),
     colors=('red', 'blue', 'green'),)
show()
