It depends on what you're planning to do; "simple graphics library" and "making [...] figures" are two requirements that don't necessarily fit together perfectly. Perhaps turtle (https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html) would suit your needs? If that's not what you're looking for, just pick any popular library that does the specific things you want to use in your lesson, and teach only the relevant bits. If you want (scientific) graphs and figures, go matplotlib. It's not the nicest library, but it's powerful and well-represented on stack overflow. If you want buttons and stuff, go for PyQt or Tkinter. Both are messy and complicated, and Tkinter looks terrible by default, but that's just the way it is. -- Thomas -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
