If you are going to do 3D plotting of data, the tool to use is VTK. It
is the de facto standard for 3D scientific/technical visualization,
regardless of programming language. VTK has Python bindings, but you
need to build the library from source. VTK is embeddable in wxPython.

The prebuilt VTK binaries are build with tcl support. If you are happy
using tcl as middleman, i.e. similar to what tkinter does for gui, you
don't need to build the Python bindings.
