WCK, Tk's Canvas, wxPython (do they have a canvas-style widget
available these days), any other self-respecting UI toolkit...

but if you're going to do animations, the drawing part isn't really the hard
bit -- and vpython is designed to do animations.  if you want things to look
pure 2D, all you have to do is to position the lights and the camera correctly...

(does vpython support orthographic views out of the box?  if it doesn't,
that shouldn't be hard to add).
