I don't know what dumb thing I'm going but I can't seem to plot
2 horizontal lines on the same plot!!!
Why does this snippet give a *BLANK* plot when I run it?
(Either line separately seems to be ok!?!?)
import pylab
x1 = pylab.arange(-10, 10, 0.01)
x2 = pylab.arange( 0, 10, 0.01)
f1 = [0 for e in x1]
f2 = [1 for e in x2]
pylab.show(pylab.plot(x1, f1, x2, f2))

The autoscaling feature sets the y limits to [0,1] which means that
your lines are falling on the bottom and top x-axis which hides them.
Rescaling the y-axis will make the lines visible, e.g.
pylab.ylim(-1,2)

pylab.show() takes no arguments. The pylab interface is "stateful", meaning you run a series of commands in order and it usually does the right thing, rather than passing the results of one function into another (in general).
Did you not get an exception when you ran your example?
The following works for me:
import pylab
x1 = pylab.arange(-10, 10, 0.01)
x2 = pylab.arange( 0, 10, 0.01)
f1 = [0 for e in x1]
f2 = [1 for e in x2]
pylab.plot(x1, f1, x2, f2)
pylab.show()

Thank you very much. That did it.

The lines aren't visible when I do it. No exceptions given.
