These are the commands:

Are you certain that this is what you typed?

C:\Users\Mark\Desktop>py -2.7

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>>

Please have another go.


or

from matplotlib.pyplot import pyplot as plt

The above is incorrect, you are trying to import 'pyplot' from 'matplotlib.pyplot'.


This is the error I get:

thanks in advance

With this type of problem I'm inclined to throw the last line of the traceback, here the 'AttributeError' one, into a search engine and see what you come up with. The hits you get are often enough to help you diagnose the problem.
