Not particularly. I use ipython in pylab mode. Louis's original request 
("to open some simple windows and draw/plot figures from data") fits 
matplotlib's interactive mode particularly well. Unfortunately, it 
doesn't make for good examples. The best thing to do is to install 
ipython and run "ipython -pylab" and play around a bit.

The important bit, of course, is ipython's GUI thread management. 
PyCrust also works (although you give up on ipython's other magnificent 
goodies). scipy's gui_thread might also work, but it has been obsoleted 
by ipython.
