Is pylab part of matplotlib? I always thought it was the other way
around. I have a similar view of numpy as part of scipy. Maybe I'm
confused on the dependencies. I find it confusing in the examples
sometimes when the "bigger" package is imported (e.g. scipy) and then a
"subpackage" is also imported. Like this:
from scipi import *
from scipi import numpy
I know I've seen stuff like that, but I don't get it. The dependencies
are confusing to me.
I did a search of the tutorial on 'import' but didn't find the answer.
