Jake, are you using any python-specific GUI libraries like wxPython,
Qt, or Tk?  The Chaco plotting toolkit (http://code.enthought.com/
chaco)  supports several different mechanisms for rendering on OS X;
the default is to render via Quartz, but this requires wx or Qt.  I am
also currently working on a (somewhat experimental) pure OpenGL
backend, which doesn't require wxPython or Qt, just an active OpenGL
context.

Do you want to generate a fairly static plot, or do you want the user
to be able to interact with it in some way?
