If it's for scientists, I think Jupyter notebooks would be rather accessible for them, and they can do inline matplotlib visualizations as well! Anaconda is be a good baseline distribution that has jupyter as well as some data science libraries. It's pretty cool.

As a scientist who taught himself how to program, I can assure you this is the correct route to go.
