Sorry guys, I made a mistake here. I was pasting

from matplotlib.matlab import *
plot([1,2,3,4])
show()

as a block right into Idle -n. Running the commands one at a time does work.

I've maybe posted too many times today (:-/), but I have one last comment 
before I settle in to look at all the nice demos that you awesome dudes 
have put together. I didnt know these demos existed, I didnt find them on 
my file system when I searched through the folders that the windows .exe 
had installed. I downloaded the .zip package and extracted the samples from 
there, then did a windows search to see if i just hadnt been looking in the 
right place. The results: it found the examples from the zip file in 
C:\[path]\examples, and it found another set of examples in 
matplotlib-0.53.1/examples. But note: there is no mention of C:\... for 
this set of files, and they dont show up in windows explorer.
