I read the thread about mplot3d and the work that has been done by  
Jonathan Taylor. I wonder if an OpenGL backend is necessary at all.  
Jonathan's work seems to be great for simple 3D plotting while  the  
mayavi mlab module is here for more "serious" rendering.  I think I  
will concentrate my efforts on a simple GL terminal for IPython with  
embedded visualization capability. As for sympy (and because it uses  
pyglet), I guess the integration should be straight forward.

Last version of the ipython GL terminal is on launchpad:
           https://launchpad.net/glipy
