We are working on making Mayavi2
(https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/MayaVi) suitable for what you
want to do. You can have a look at http://gael-varoquaux.info/blog/?p=3
for a demo of the capabilities and the interface. This is only part of
Mayavi2, as Mayavi2 also provides a fully-fledged visualisation
application.

Mayavi2 is based upon VTK but strives to make it interactive and to
provide a simple API. It is still in flux and documentation is sparse (I
am planning to address this problem this week end). Moreover some people
find installation painful. We are working on that and in the mean time we
are very willing to help people if they have difficulties with the
instructions on the webpage. If you want more info or help of any kind,
the relevant mailing list is
https://mail.enthought.com/mailman/listinfo/enthought-dev .

HTH,

Gaƫl
