in command line and mod_python ( the same file) :

/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pylab.pyc 

the content of /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pylab.py is :

from matplotlib.pylab import *


If y replace the "import pylab" by "from matplotlib.pylab import *" in 
my index.py
i have a new error  :

pylab function 

<pre>
Mod_python error: "PythonHandler index"

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 299, in HandlerDispatch
    result = object(req)

  File "/var/www/html/index.py", line 15, in handler
    for i in dir(pylab):

NameError: global name 'pylab' is not defined

</pre>

i think is a package directory in :

/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/

but there are *.so file in this directory.
