Depending on the GUI toolkit you choose there should be many ways of
doing this.  Pick a toolkit and then pick a plotting widget to do the
job.  If you choose Qt, there is a Qt based graph widget called PyQwt
(http://gerard.vermeulen.free.fr).  If you choose wxPython you could
use scipy's plt module or better still chaco.  If you want to use
Tkinter you can use Pmw.Blt.Graph or use Tkinters canvas directly. If
you are going to use pyGTK I think there is a plot widget for it too.
So my suggestion is that you pick a GUI toolkit first. :)
