Vincent, Late to this party, but I thought I would mention that I have successfully used some of the matplotlib interactive widgets from within Sage on both OS X and Linux. Specifically, I have used the Tk variant on both platforms; you do have to recompile matplotlib since by default Sage chooses not to compile any of the GUI backends. Check out http://dunfield.info/temp/tkplot.py for a complete example, including precisely what one needs to do to recompile matplotlib for this to work. Probably the other GUI backends could be made to work (they all look pretty much the same, actually), but the Tk one is the one I needed at the time and so the only one I tried.
