I installed succesfully scitools_no_easyviz from conda (I work on Spyder), but I cannot import plot. To be more specific, here's my code
from scitools.std import * def f(t): return t**2*exp(-t**2) t = linspace(0, 3, 51) y = f(t) plot(t, y) savefig('tmp1.pdf') # produce PDF savefig('tmp1.png') # produce PNG figure() def f(t): return t**2*exp(-t**2) t = linspace(0, 3, 51) y = f(t) plot(t, y) xlabel('t') ylabel('y') legend('t^2*exp(-t^2)') axis([0, 3, -0.05, 0.6]) # [tmin, tmax, ymin, ymax] title('My First Easyviz Demo') figure() plot(t, y) xlabel('sss') When I run the code, I get the following error
NameError: name 'plot' is not defined
What could be the problem?

Using import * is not considered a best practice, although very practical. Try importing the functions you need, such as:
from scitools.std import plot Additionally, this way you will know if "plot" is valid when you import it along side any other function.
Ensure you have the dependencies installed in order to use the package as noted here at
Additionally, installed following these instruction latest package and your code runs perfectly well with it.
