Yes, indeed it is possible. You may want to explore matplotlib a bit.
You can start with this tutorial [1].

Right, yes, if you see it uses mencoder/ffmpeg to create the
animation. So, if you save your individual plots and then use one of
these tools, you should be able to get the animation done.

Matplotlib itself seems to have some Animated plotting capabilities,
but I haven't had any experience with them.


Best,
Amit.
