PyLab does not have any attrs

I am working with PyBrain and in the documentation it uses PyLab... I try importing PyLab and that works, however when I try using any of the modules in it python returns an error.

    >>> import pylab
    >>> dir(pylab)
    ['__author__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__email__', '__file__',   '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__version__']
    >>>

PyLab appears to be installed correctly but it doesn't have any contents.

There are many reasons why that happen… So let's find out what's happening.

The PyLab you've installed is very likely the one from pypi:

which is actually the one here:

and when you look at the files, it's matching what you're saying:

it's quite empty ☺

Though, if you install it, it's gonna install you a lot of dependencies for scientific development:

Though, since you've installed the pylab package, you've got matplotlib installed, and thus you can use the pylab which is actually part of matplotlib:

So if you do from matplotlib.pylab import * you should get started!
