1) Even for 2D, matplotlib is sloooooow. The program is
rather unpleasant to use. It takes forever to start up,

the data whenever the user makes a change.That sounds slower than usual -- what are you plotting?
Delaunay triangulations of about 150 points. The user is then
allowed to select triangles and points to be manipulated.
2) Trying to distribute a matplotlib program with py2exe is
just brutal.Darn. this is solvable, but apparently not easily. It seems to
bundle up OK with py2app on OS-X, which is similar. I think
that's because py2app has a "recipe" that bundles up all of
mpl be default.
Other's report success using py2exe, but they all seem to be
using different methods.
I've come to the conclusion that matplotlib may be fine for
"stand-alone" interactive use (which was apparently the
original intent), but it's not really usable as a library.It's usable for others, so you problem may be solvable.
What do people use for 2D plotting??
Have you tried Chaco? I haven't for a long time, but it sure looks nice.
If I can't get matplotlib to work, I'll take a look at it.
