For 2D bar charts, line charts, etc. graphics try Matplotlib. I have just begun to experiment with it for a project at work and it seems easy to use and IPython is a good development environment for it.

Yes. You can override the event handlers for all of them if you
want a
window that looks normal, but isn't able to be resized, closed, or
moved.

probably do 4/second.- Josiah
