Answer 1

Now that plot.ly has opened sourced their libraries, it is a really good choice for interactive plots in python. See for example: https://plot.ly/python/legend/#legend-names. You can click on the legend traces and select/deselect traces.

If you want to embed in an Ipython/Jupyter Notebook, that is also straightforward: https://plot.ly/ipython-notebooks/gallery/
