There is a VTK binding for Python which comes with the VTK source.  There is
a pretty fabulous visualization tool called MayaVi which is written in
Python and uses that binding.  You should be able to get some good ideas
from one or both sources.  As for mixing in your own C++ objects, I'm sure
it can be done, but am not sure how.  Check out Boost.Python and SWIG and
candidate tools for incorporating your classes into Python.
