You could try IPython (http://www-hep.colorado.edu/~fperez/ipython/) as a 
working environment. It's not GUI based and under Windows has some 
limitations, but it's better than the default python shell. Under 
Linux/Unix/OSX, which have proper terminals and readline support, it's quite 
nice IMHO (granted, I may be a bit biased :)

Other plottinng options:

- Gnuplot. That's what I use. IPyhton comes with addons to make it much nicer 
for regular use.

- Grace. I also use it occasionally, though I'm less familiar with it. It only 
does 2d though.

- Chaco (http://scipy.org). This is not production code yet, but watch out for 
it in the future.
