I'm trying to run the contourf example from the matplotlib documentation. When I run it from a python shell, everything works well, but when I run it as a script (python contourf_demo.py), the following error rises:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "matplotlib.py", line 3, in
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
File "/home/user/dir/contourf_demo.py", line 3, in
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ImportError: No module named pyplot
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and the problem comes when importing:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
I have tried using different ways to call the import (such as from matplotlib import pyplot), but it doesn't work neither.
