For high quality line drawings using Python you have PyX [1]. Unfortunately it does not come with a 3D library. You probably have too look elsewere for 3D vector drawings. Some places to look are: - Asymptote [2] - Sketch [3]. A small, simple system for producing line drawings of two- or three-dimensional solid objects and scenes. Sketch generates PSTricks code for LaTeX. Both Asymptote and Sketch requires TeX/LaTeX for typesetting labels and such. Sketch is probably the closest to what you are looking for. See [4] for an example of what kind of graphics it can create.
