It may be that what you are trying should work. However, I believe that for interactive work it is recommended to use ipython -pylab unless you are using the TkAgg backend. You select this in your matplotlibrc file (it should go into ~/.matplotlib) OR (see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq.html) you can do the use command before importing pylab, as described at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/backends.html >>> import matplotlib >>> matplotlib.use('TkAgg') >>> from pylab import * Note that if you are using an IDE like pycrust, ipython -pylab, pythonwin, or IDLE, pylab may have already been loaded, and subsequent calls to use or from pylab import * will have no effect unless you explicitly force a module reload.
