How to import xplt, pylab?

[Caren Balea]

Hello,

I'm newbie to python.

So far, I'm a bit disappointed. It's awful to set Python up to work.
It's not working!!!

Ok, calm down. Here are my settings:
I'm using Windows XP machine and have installed
Python 2.5.1.
Also, I have also installed something called "Cygwin" to type
in my commands.
Finally, I have installed scipy-0.6.0.

After starting Cygin I type

python
import math
import scipy
*
Then I try

import xplt

and get the message
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in 
ImportError: No module named xplt
*

Also I try

import pylab

and get the message
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in 
ImportError: No module named pylab

*

So, how can I use xplt and pylab???

Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Thank you,
Caren

Thank you. I've tried both suggestions.
But they both don't work :(

Here are the outputs:

>>> import math
>>> import scipy
>>> from scipy.sandbox import xplt

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
from scipy.sandbox import xplt
ImportError: cannot import name xplt
>>> import scipy.sandbox.xplt

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
import scipy.sandbox.xplt
ImportError: No module named xplt

Okay, thanks. I've tried but without success :(
Here is what is displayed:

>>> import math
>>> import scipy
>>> import scipy.sandbox
>>> import scipy.sandbox.xplt

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
import scipy.sandbox.xplt
ImportError: No module named xplt
