here is a sample.  again, direct questions to the matplotlib list for  
possible better ideas.


from pylab import *

# initial positions
x0=rand(5)
y0=rand(5)

ion()  # interactive on

for t in linspace(0,10,100):

     x=x0+0.1*cos(t)
     y=y0+0.1*sin(t)

     if t==0:  # first time calling
         h=plot(x,y,'o')
     else:
         h[0].set_data(x,y)

     draw()
