IPython widgets let you manipulate Python objects in the kernel with GUI objects in the Notebook. You might also like Sage hosted IPython Notebooks. One problem you might have with sharing widgets or interactivity in Notebooks is that if someone else doesn't have IPython, they can't run your work. To solve that, you can use Domino to share Notebooks with widgets that others can run.

Below are three examples of widgets you can build in a Notebook using pandas to filter data, fractals, and a slider for a 3D plot. Learn more and see the code and Notebooks here.

If you want to live-stream data or set up a simulation to run as a loop, you can also stream data into plots in a Notebook. Disclaimer: I work for Plotly.
