Can someone tell me how to install the PYLAB utilities into a basic Python 2.7 setup

Is that part of Matplotlib?

I've just listened to lecture 13 and the accompanying python files require the input of "PYLAB". The lecturer makes reference to the Matplotlib site... so maybe "yes" is the answer to your question. However the instructions for the installation of this whole package seem onerous - certainly for what I need at the moment. The installation of Matplotlib apparently needs...."For standard Python installations you will also need to install compatible versions of setuptools, numpy, python-dateutil, pytz, pyparsing and six in addition to matplotlib." Really????

Yes, it is that sort of thing. A lot of programming is like this. Getting libraries and the like. Or you can use someone's premade environment with all of it: https://store.enthought.com/ Like the free version of that.
