Thank you that is good to know. From my personal point of view I was just interested in a view simple form of interactivity. That is the ability to click on data points and see their labels. I have to say mpldatacursor is very nice and does precisely this. It however has some disadvantages.
a) It's not possible to save the current state of your interactive visualisation to send to someone else (except as a snapshot png). b) Due to its dependencies it is also hard to send your code to someone else as they are unlikely to have the dependencies to get it to work. This would be solved by having the functionality in something standard like matplotlib. c) There appears to be only one contributor currently. (I could be wrong about this last point.)
