A while back, I recommended using slut in this post:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2007-August/455309.html.

slut has a pretty hefty footprint, but once you have plotted the
points, you can also interact with the plot using mouse gestures.  My
website has a little Wink demo of the interaction with a series of
points plotted on the surface of a sphere, plus a path connecting
them: http://www.geocities.com/ptmcg/python/sphere1.htm
