imshow() function not working

I'm working on a program in python with packages numpy,scipy and matplotlib.pyplot. This is my code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy import misc
im=misc.imread("photosAfterAverage/exampleAfterAverage1.jpg")
plt.imshow(im, cmap=plt.cm.gray)

for some reason the image isn't showing up (checked if I got the image, in that part it's all fine- I can print the array.).

"Interactive mode may also be turned on via matplotlib.pyplot.ion(), and turned off via matplotlib.pyplot.ioff()" cf. matplotlib user guide.

You need to call plt.show() to display the image. Or use ipython --pylab for an interactive shell that is matplotlib aware.
