Does MPL have some kind of hit-testing built-in? this seems a bit harder 
than it should be.

I don't' think so....

However, Mplot may be worth a look-see:

http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~newville/Epics/Python/MPlot/

As far as I can tell, it provides a user-editable plot. However, I can't 
tell with a quick perusal if you can click on an axis and get feedback 
for that.

It would be nice if wxMPL and MPlot shored a code base, but alas -- they 
were started independently.
