python error: no module named pylab

Question

I am new to Python and want to use its plot functionality to create graphs. I am using ubuntu 12.04. I followed the Python installation steps from http://eli.th

Answer 1

I installed python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib, but it didn't work for me and I got the same error. Pylab isn't recognized without matplotlib. So I used this:

from matplotlib import pylab
from pylab import *

and worked for me.
