I don't think there's an easy way to do that, since all access to gnuplot from
python is via a pipe. Gnuplot is an external program, not a library.  You
might be able to make gnunplot generate .pngs and then load those into a tk
canvas, but it will be clumsy.

You might want to look at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net.  It's a true
python plotting library (as opposed to a pipe to an external program), set up
from the get-go for GUI embedding (with Tk, GTK and WX examples included).

Best,
