You can use tvtk/mayavi2 for this.  Here are examples of unstructured
grids that you can take a look at:

A polygonal data set with pure TVTK:

A 3D unstructured grid where data is generated with tvtk and viewed
with Mayavi2:

The nice thing about both is that they integrate well with numpy
arrays and use views of your numpy array data.
