Dear matplotlib-users,
I'm having trouble importing pylab and I hope someone can help me. The error
message is:

As you can see, I'm using 2.5. The matploblib module that I downloaded was
from sourceforge.net, as was the python 2.5. readdata.py, the program that
gave this error message, is:
import pylab
with nothing else but comments. The strange thing is this was working
before, and it suddenly stopped working, with the same version and
matplotlib module.
What is the problem?
Thanks,
Linda Chen.
