Import Pylab Error

#1

Hello,

Can someone please help me with creating graphs within the Sublime Text environment? I have anaconda installed and have been able to run various simple math scripts successfully. Here is what my example code looks like:

x_numbers = [1, 2, 3]
y_numbers = [2, 4, 6]
from pylab import plot, show
plot(x_numbers, y_numbers)
show()

This works when running in the anaconda idle shell, but when I try to run it in Sublime, I get the error “No module named ‘pylab’”. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sublime Text comes with its own python 3.3 interpreter. You can’t simply import libraries installed by pip.

What you need to do to use a library is to either

  1. create a dependency package for it (for public use)
  2. or just put the desired libraries into Data/Lib/python3.3/ directory, where the location of Data depends on your setup.
