Question

I'm on Unit 2, basic probability and plotting data, the class just introduced pylab, but i have no idea how to install it to my python version. I'm using eclipse in aptana with pydev, can anybody help? I search on the web almost whole day today, but without any luck

Except make sure you download the specific file for the specfic version of Python that you're using (if you're using 2.7, make sure you download 2.7...it might not be the newest link!)

Answer 2

Thanks shandelman. My version is 2.5 but when i installed it, these error messages pop out:could not create matplotlib-py2.5
could not set key value Python 2.5 matplotlib-1.1.1
C:\Python25\Removematplotlib.exe -u
C:\Python25\matplotlib-wininst.log
The installation did finish running, however, I still cannot import pylab in my file

Answer 3

Do I need to install version 2.7? Because I read about that we have to install numpy first before we install matplotlib, and numpy can only be installed on Python2.7?

Answer 4

I got it all figured out today. Download python2.7 and install numpy/scipy for 2.7 version. In aptana, you just change the path to 2.7
