I find that I draw in PyX but use Matplotlib for data.  If 
you have some familiarity with PostScript, PyX should be 
very intuitive.  It has some really wonderful drawing 
features.  My needs are almost always static, so 
Matplotlib's interactive and animation capabilities have not 
(yet) proved determinative for me.  For data, especially 
time series data, I can no longer imagine doing without 
Matplotlib.  It is brilliant.
