I doubt that ever should have worked.  If it did, then something was
seriously messed up.  Also, note there isnt really a package called
"pylab".  There is a special sub-module in matplotlib called pylab, that
you typically do "from pylab import *" with.  The version number you are
giving more likely corresponds to the numpy version number.

The show() function is a part of the pyplot and pylab namespaces.
