Installation problem

Hi all.
I am new user of matplot-lib and Python. I try to find replacement for matlab.
Now I use Debian-testing but my experience with it is little.
I have reinstalled system few days ago and matplotlib is not working now.

If I start python (2.3).

from pylab import *
plot([1,2,3])
nothing happens.

from IDLE
it does not work to.

if i run ipython -pylab
It works

How can I connect matplotlib to IDLE, or something similar.

Thanks.
Petro

show()
