Just as a note, if you have Cairo, you have PS, PDF, SVG, raster, and,
indeed, native draw-to-the-screen functionality.
They're not all robust and complete, but it's seeing a lot of
development. A robust, numpy-aware PyCairo would be really nice.
In short, Cairo has essentially the same goals (plus a few more) as
Kiva, except it's written in C. There's some discussion of using it in
wxWidgets, and, of course, it's already used in newer GTKs.
