I assume you mean the first example, the wire frame
(see below).  It works for me.  No problems.  When
pylab (matplotlib) plots it does so in a window
associated with a Python process that is separate from
the terminal (I assume you are using a terminal).  You
might need to bring that process window to the
foreground.

Here's the code that worked for me:

from numpy import *
import pylab as p
import matplotlib.axes3d as p3

# u and v are parametric variables.
# u is an array from 0 to 2*pi, with 100 elements
u=r_[0:2*pi:100j]
# v is an array from 0 to 2*pi, with 100 elements
v=r_[0:pi:100j]

# x, y, and z are the coordinates of the points for
plotting
# each is arranged in a 100x100 array
x=10*outer(cos(u),sin(v))
y=10*outer(sin(u),sin(v))
z=10*outer(ones(size(u)),cos(v))

fig=p.figure()
ax = p3.Axes3D(fig)
ax.plot_wireframe(x,y,z)
ax.set_xlabel('X')
ax.set_ylabel('Y')
ax.set_zlabel('Z')
p.show()
