Thank you. I've tried both suggestions. But they both don't work :( Here are the outputs: >>> import math >>> import scipy >>> from scipy.sandbox import xplt Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module> from scipy.sandbox import xplt ImportError: cannot import name xplt >>> import scipy.sandbox.xplt Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module> import scipy.sandbox.xplt ImportError: No module named xplt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
