title: Installed Anaconda for pylab, but still can't import pylab
body: <p>Oh I am trying to import pylab for 4 hours now, but still really in need of help.</p>
  
  <p>I use python 2.7.10.
  While learning plotting, the prof typed "import pylab as plot", "plt.plot(data1, data2)", then a graph appeared.</p>
  
  <p>However when I did, I got </p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/MARISSA/Documents/문제별 알고리즘/L13/pylab.py", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  import pylab as plt
  File "/Users/MARISSA/Documents/문제별 알고리즘/L13/pylab.py", line 16, in &lt;module&gt;
  plt.plot(mySamples, myLinear)
  AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'plot'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I installed anaconda graphical installer from <a href="https://www.continuum.io/downloads" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a></p>
  
  <p>and tried in terminal</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo easy_install matplotlib
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then only got</p>
  
  <pre><code>Searching for matplotlib
  Best match: matplotlib 2.0.0
  Adding matplotlib 2.0.0 to easy-install.pth file
  
  Using /Users/MARISSA/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages
  Processing dependencies for matplotlib
  Finished processing dependencies for matplotlib
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>however still get the same error above.</p>
  
  <p>I am new to programming, please be kind enough to explain for me. Thanks! </p>
