Matplotlib just gives error messages

Question

I am trying to use matplotlib. I used it here at work before, and everything went fine. I use the IDLE framework and I read on the Matplotlib website that interactive mode does not work in IDLE, but in this case it does not matter. In addition, the library seems to import only a fine:

>>> import numpy as np >>> import matplotlib as plt >>> x = np.arange(0,3 * np.pi, 0.1) >>> y = np.sin(x) >>> plt.plot(x,y) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#7>", line 1, in <module> plt.plot(x,y) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'plot' >>> plt.show() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#8>", line 1, in <module> plt.show(x,y) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'show'
