recommend a graphics library for plotting by the pixel?

[Derek Simkowiak]

     If this is strictly for 2D pixel graphics, I recommend using PyGame 
(aka SDL).  Why do you not think it's the way to go?  It was built for 
this type of thing.

     You may also want to use PIL (Python Imaging Library) for various 
image manipulation tasks, but PIL doesn't handle mouse clicks and screen 
blitting the way PyGame does.
