For mathematica equations, NumPy and matplotlib is probably the best
option. I prefer to embed matplotlib in wxPython. wxAgg is an
excellent backend.

For more general 2D graphics, there are several options, including:

- pygame (uses SDL)
- aggdraw module
- pycairo
- pyopengl
- wxPython's device context (ditto for other GUI libraries)
