Ok, the connection in my hotel if finally up --- so I think we could use the pyproccessing module: http://pyprocessing.berlios.de/ It was accepted to Python 2.7, Sage guys like it too, it's BSD licensed, etc. Following the usual strategy, e.g. using it if it's available and falling back to the default if it doesn't work for some reason.
