It's easy enough to see the important information on the mailing list (python-list@python.org). The ads you mention don't come through to here. > I downloaded and installed matplotlib.

Whatever it is you do to run Python, just add "-m pip" and you then have pip, acting on the same installation. For instance, I can type "python3 -m pip install matplotlib", or "python3.7 -m pip install matplotlib" to install into Python 3.7 (as opposed to my default Python, which is 3.8). > Matplotlib makes the very simple plots that I wish to make in just a few > statements, (scatter plot, etc.), but to make them into representations > of PI, each dot on the scatter plot or whatever has to be a different > color: point 1 is color(3), point 2 is color(1), point 3 is color(4), > etc. I am not sure if matplotlib is able to make each dot in the > scatterplot or whatever a differnt color in the single staement that > makes to plot, or if a loop has to be set up to draw each of the dots > individually in a different color, but I think it will work and with > relatively simple code. Not sure, but I think it will be easy enough. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
