quick surface plots

[buchstaebchen at googlemail.com]

Hi folks,

I need advice in finding an appropriate python module for 3D surface
plots, such as for the visualization of wave-dynamics...I'd prefer
something capable of being embedded in wxpython frames, as matplotlib
is doing pretty well for 2D, however, I couldn't get a hold of
functions like <surf3d()> there.
vpython hasn't any likewise, while mayavi is way to complex (and
doesn't allow quick animation?)

Any recommendation (or some old threads I failed to look for) ?

thanks for any reply and cheers!
