Pyglet
For anyone into python or considering python - Pyglet looks like a great idea if you’re thinking of game development or visualization of some sort.
Features (aka things I like about it):
- No external dependencies or installation requirements. For most application and game requirements, pyglet needs nothing else besides Python, simplifying distribution and installation.
- Take advantage of multiple windows and multi-monitor desktops. pyglet allows you to use as many windows as you need, and is fully aware of multi-monitor setups for use with fullscreen games.
- Load images, sound, music and video in almost any format. pyglet can optionally use AVbin to play back audio formats such as MP3, OGG/Vorbis and WMA, and video formats such as DivX, MPEG-2, H.264, WMV and Xvid.

Sweet! I just started getting interested in learning bits of python after getting “Programming collective intelligence” by Toby Segaran, who uses python in his examples. This library seems to have some interesting visualization support.
