Louis: To take you on an altogether different tack for plotting scientific data sets in a nice interactive window, have you tried xmgrace and the graceplot package, which allows you to easily send data from a python program to xmgrace? Once the data have been sent, the formatting of the graph can be nicely set with the xmgrace GUI graph tools, or loaded from a pre-saved grace parameter file.
I use this combination quite a bit, and it is a fast, easy way to get from python to publication-quality output, or just to quick & dirty graphs.
