My understanding is that John was recommending a method for writing a GUI application that used matplotlib. You might be able to use that approach to write the whole shebang in pylab, but I suspect it would be difficult to do well. > Understood.

If you need a simple front-end for drawing and receiving mouse clicks, wxPython's FloatCanvas is probably a fine choice. The OSX version of wxPython includes a demo application that showcases the different UI elements it provides. I recommend you play around with the FloatCanvas demo, then look at the documentation and source code to get an idea of how fast you can get up and running with it.
