How to draw bigger points on a Python plot

I'm trying to plot a set of points with Python, using the following code:

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import numpy as np
import pylab as pl
y = [0.86,0.64,0.96,1.06,1.00,1.17,1.08,1.47,1.93,1.05,2.00,2.22,1.72,1.83]
x = [2.165,2.163,0.028,2.4,3.6,2.12,2.160,3.0,2.2,2.514,2.6,3.6,2.171,1.37]
pl.plot(x, y, 'rp')
pl.title('My points')
pl.ylabel('Second variable')
pl.xlabel('First variable')
pl.ylim(0.0, 2.5)
pl.xlim(0.0, 4.0)
pl.show()

But the output is a graph where the red points are too little, and I'd like to increase their area. Is there any easy way to do this? I'm a beginner in Python, and haven't been able to find anything that could help.

One of the arguments of plot is markersize, so you can say for example

pl.plot(x, y, 'rp', markersize=14)
