I feel the same way. However, you might want to look at the
floatcanvas module and FloatCanvasDemo.py that come with the wxPython
distribution. I've found it a very useful starting point for data
plotting scripts, especially if you are interested in cartographic
transformations. It utilizes the numeric package to speed up the
plotting and manipulation of data and provides a nice GUI right out of
the box. Chris Barker is the author and maintainer of this module and I
suspect that, like many of us, he doesn't have time to write thorough
documentation.
