If the GUI is only for the graph, try matplotlib. It should do the 
graphs/charts you require.

If necessary, you can combine matplotlib with another GUI toolkit for a 
full GUI. This might be useful if you want to display menus and dialogs 
to load the text files, etc.

3D is a different matter. I'd personally go with Python bindings for 
VTK, but be warned that the learning curve is very steep and the online 
docs are quite sparse (you're encouraged to buy the book, which is 
probably the main source of income for the VTK devs).
