I've had a similar problem with a tkinter/3D app. right now I'm looking
toward Blender, and the Python API, but there is also wxpython, and the
usual python's library gtk.

There is also matplotlib with the ion window. but, I, personally, am going
to go with Blender, and Python API, with maybe a few other imports, and if
ctypes...includes if I remember C correctly without reference at this time
the usages of returned data type values
for you to utilize.


But for the plainer answer I'd go with wxpython if you decide not to use a
different library, and for a GDK, Blend
