How to solve python error: no module named pylab ?

Refer to the given methods to solve the issue.

Method 1:

To get pylab, youโ€™ll need to install numpy, scipy, and matplotlib. You may install them in Ubuntu by using the following command:

sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib

If you installed Python from source, you must install these packages using pip. Itโ€™s worth noting that you may need to install additional dependencies, as well as numpy before the other two.

Method 2 :

So if the above installations of numpy or scipy donโ€™t work, pylab was unable to recognize the matplotlib. Then use the below code snippet to import the pylab from the matplotlib.

from matplotlib import pylab
from pylab import *

Hope the above solution works.
