Damon,

plt.pyplot gives an error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'pyplot'

If I use plt.plot(x, y, color='g', marker='.', markersize=3.0)

the dots are black. But I've found success with:

plt.plot(x,y,'wo',markeredgecolor='white',markersize=3.0)

so all is well. Thanks for your help.
