Thanks. I do not know when glipy will be stable, it mainly depends on users whow want to test it and report bugs. Concerning possible extensions, I prefer right now to concentrate on the very basics to try to offer a stable applications. I fear that extensions will have to wait.

I've made a Python/IPython terminal using pyglet with embedded support for numpy arrays (1D or 2D). It uses OpenGL and is pretty fast.

It does not aim at replacing matplotlib or mayavi mlab module but is rahter aimed at quick experimentations or debugging.

I've setup a launchpad glipy project at: https://launchpad.net/glipy

as well as a rudimentary homepage: http://webloria.loria.fr/~rougier/glipy/

for those who want to test it. It is still an early beta version and may be plenty of bugs...

Nicolas, this is awesome, a perfect teaching tool! I'd like to use it in my class. Will it be stable in time for Fall classes?

Some thoughts:

Would it be possible to (optionally) detach the graphics from the text, so that they're in separate windows and you just see the current figure?

How about using (optionally) an external display program like DS9, which has great features for interactively exploring the data in a floating 2D array (scale contrast, brightness, and displayed data range with the mouse; change colormaps; blink image sets; panel images; annotate images; etc?). This package is used widely in the astronomy community. Basically, what you're doing would automate the repetitious act of sending every line's result to DS9 manually, and provide basic capability for compositing images before display.
