Answer 1

Note in sublime text 3 (with anaconda package installed)

You need to add a custom build system as theta said, by:

first add a folder named python in \path\to\Sublime Text Build XXXX\Data\Packages

then put a file named python.sublime-build into that folder.

{
    "cmd": ["python", "-u", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
    "selector": "source.python",
    "shell": true
}

and remember to add plt.show() like Roald said.

plt.imshow(image)
plt.show()
