xplt is a module within scipy, so it will not be available at the top level. However, all you need to do is py>>> from scipy.sandbox import xplt or py>>> import scipy.sandbox.xplt The advantage of the former is that you can just use the names xplt.*, while with the latter you have to type scipy.sandbox.xplt.*. > Also I try > > import pylab > > and get the message > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> > ImportError: No module named pylab > > ***************************************** > I haven't worked with pylab, but it looks like you may need another install (matplotlib?) I'm not sure. I just did a quick google search. > So, how can I use xplt and pylab???!!!! > > Any help would be much appreciated!!! > > Thank you, > Caren Happy Thankgiving hacking!
