from pylab import ... is intended for interactive matplotlib plotting sessions 
or scripting, with syntax very similar to Matlab. To see what it is all 
about, try http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html, and 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/pylab_commands.html

The example you are building from is the "Pythonic" object oriented interface, 
which is more suitable for writing applications than the pylab interface.
