Visualisation
Python does not rely on one standard library for plotting and visualization, you have the choice to from several alternatives:
matplotlib is becoming a quasi standard for plotting within the numpy/scipy/ipython environment and easy to use.
PyNGL and PyNIO provide interfaces to the functionality existing in the NCAR Command Language (NCL).

Basemap
The matplotlib basemap toolkit is a library for plotting 2D data on maps in Python.

GMT
GMT is an open source collection of ~60 tools for manipulating geographic and Cartesian data sets (including filtering, trend fitting, gridding, projecting, etc.) and producing publication quality scientific plots.
In particular useful are the gridding routines which can be used for irregular sampled oceanographic as well as for satellite data.
GMT can be easily applied together with Python using the os module.
