Looks like you might be interested in Thuban:

http://thuban.intevation.org/

It's an interactive viewer for geogrtaphic data written in Python with
wxPython as GUI toolkit and runs on Linux and Windows. Currently it
supports shapefiles for vector data and uses the PROJ library for
projections. Support for raster data is only available in the CVS
version at the moment.
