Great! I played with your tool a bit and it's already better than most
other (free) tools. In the long term, some kind of GUI is a "must" -
waveform viewer is an interactive tool after all. Performance is also
a concern, especially for transient simulations.

Still this is a very good start and I've already found it useful. The
dependency on matplotlib is not a concern at this stage but a waveform
viewer doesn't really need all this functionality (unless you want to
target graphs like smith-charts or histograms, which IMHO could be
better added as plugins).

If you want to write gui in Python I sincerely recommend pyQt4. PyGtk
is also fine (although not as robust as pyQt), especially if you want
to dual-license your program.
