PyNGL and PyNIO

There is an effort at UCAR to translate NGL (the NCAR Graphics Language) to python: PyNGL. Also, as part of this project, there is PyNIO, and input/output module that reads and writes in many different formats supported by NGL.

TVTK

Although matplotlib supports 2D graphics (and quite well, I might add), there is no support for 3D graphics. VTK is clearly the way to go, but there has been no 'pythonic' interface... until TVTK.

Also of interest might be NCVTK, which provides another interface for visualization of NetCDF files using VTK.
