I've seen just about everything already mentioned that I could think of, 
except these two:

PyOpenGL - Interface to OpenGL, the only (?) widely known, popular, and 
extensivly used (by corporations) graphics toolkit not owned by MS. And 
the interface is such that you can use it with nothing aside from the GL 
Redbook 95% of the time, and the differences are mostly ovbious 
(comprimises for functions that want pointers, mostly)

PyGame - Interface to SDL, which is a high-quality 2d grahpics kit that 
seems to be rising these days...

Oh, and since there's three slots, PyOpenGLContext, which nicely ties the 
first one into the second, and into WX and TK.
