Sage includes with two ways of doing 3D plotting, both which
work reasonably well, based on jmol and tachyon. Try this, on
either the command line or notebook:
sage: x, y = var('x,y')
sage: plot3d(x^2 + y^2, (x,-2,2), (y,-2,2))
sage: plot3d(sin(x*y), (x, -pi, pi), (y, -pi, pi), viewer='tachyon')

Interesting.

Sorry for wasting your hard drive space. Evidently the 3d graphics
I mention above won't be relevant for you. Best of luck with
numpy/scipy/matplotlib/python.
