It seems that these standards have been adopted, which is good:
The following import conventions are used throughout the NumPy source and documentation:
import numpy as np import matplotlib as mpl import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Source: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/doc/HOWTO_DOCUMENT.rst.txt
Is there some similar standard for PyLab?
Thanks,

Colin, Typically, with pylab mode of matplotlib, you do: from pylab import * This is essentially equivalent to: from numpy import * from matplotlib.pyplot import * Note that the pylab "module" is actually a part of matplotlib and is a shortcut to provide an environment that is very familiar to Matlab users. Converts are then encouraged to use the imports you mentioned in order to properly utilize python namespaces. I hope that helps! Ben Root
