Two obvious choices are wxPython + MatPlotLib and/or VPython or PyQt, 
depends on what license you're after.
Maybe interesting to know that a number of guys are creating MatLab-like 
environements, search the scipy newsgroup.
You can also find some m-file to numpy converters (in case you might 
have m-files already).
And I can assure you, there are 2 packages which will give you trouble 
with py2exe: numpy and matplotlib.

btw if you choose wxPython, download the demo first, and you might even 
be interested in a simpler way to create GUIs,
