title: Windows 8 ..... No Module named pylab
body: <p>I am using windows 8 and am trying to learn nltk. when I try to create a dispersion_plot I get an error </p>
  
  <pre><code>ImportError: No module named 'pylab'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I did a google search and found this </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://matplotlib.org/users/installing.html" rel="nofollow">http://matplotlib.org/users/installing.html</a></p>
  
  <p>However it seems that installing it on windows is really tough. Can anyone give me simpler instructions (like using pip) to get this installed?</p>
  
  <p>Based on some of the suggestions given below I tried this</p>
  
  <pre><code> D:\&gt;d:\anaconda\scripts\pip install python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I got an error</p>
  
  <pre><code>Downloading/unpacking python-numpy
    Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement python-numpy
