  SciTools is a Python package containing lots of useful tools for scientific
  computing in Python. The package is built on top of other widely used 
  packages such as NumPy, SciPy, ScientificPython, Gnuplot, etc.

+ .
+ SciTools also comes with a plotting interface called Easyviz, which is a
+ unified interface to various packages for scientific visualization and
+ plotting. Both curve plots and more advanced 2D/3D visualization of scalar
+ and vector fields are supported. The Easyviz interface was designed with
+ three ideas in mind: 1) a simple, Matlab-like syntax; 2) a unified interface
+ to lots of visualization engines (backends): Gnuplot, Matplotlib, Grace,
+ Veusz, Pmw.Blt.Graph, PyX, Matlab, VTK, VisIt, OpenDX; and 3) a minimalistic
+ interface which offers only basic control of plots: curves, linestyles,
+ legends, title, axis extent and names. More fine-tuning of plots can be done
+ by adding backend-specific commands.
