Any easy way to plot a 3d scatter in Python that I can rotate around?

Question

Currently I\'m using matplotlib to plot a 3d scatter and while it gets the job done, I can\'t seem to find a way to rotate it to see my data better.

Here\'s an examp

Using mayavi, you can create such a plot with

import enthought.mayavi.mlab as mylab
import numpy as np
x, y, z, value = np.random.random((4, 40))
mylab.points3d(x, y, z, value)
mylab.show()

The GUI allows rotation via clicking-and-dragging, and zooming in/out via right-clicking-and-dragging.
