st.statistics - Is there a tool for finding probability distributions given some samples?

I'm looking for a tool that does "probability distribution fitting" given a set of data points. Sort of like curve fitting, but tries to fit to standard density distributions.



For example if I input



(0, 0.0497871), (1, 0.149361), (2, 0.224042), (3, 0.224042), (4,0.168031), (5, 0.100819), (6, 0.0504094)


I would hope that it would tell me these data points fit a Poisson distribution.
