Python: Visualisation of waves

Question

I want to programm an easy visualisation of wave propagation. I tried this with visual python (VPython) but the programm is very slow. I want to use a 2-D visualisation now. Which module could you recommend? Tkinter? Matplotlib?

For the computation i use numpy/scipy because it is fast. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Do you think matplotlib is a good choice? It looks very strong.

EDIT: I really get stuck. Please help me!

Try this library:

Python Imaging Library is supposed to be good for 2D graphics:

These link's have some good information on them.

I'm not familar with matplotlib but it's got some good review's:
