#python and iptyhon is not plotting my data.
# I used the commands as follows

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.arange(1,5,0.1)
y = np.sin(x)
plt.plot(x,y)           
# no result found 

# I also tested this technique

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pylab as plt
x = np.arange as np
y = np.sin(x)
plt.plot(x,y)
# but got no results

I tested on 32bit and 64bit machines

In spyder it worked in command line but not in script
in command line i wrote:
#But in command line i simply wrote
x = arange(1,5,.1)
y = sin(x)
plot(x,y)
#it worked fine

# waiting for your kind reply

In the future please direct such questions to the (appropriate) mailing list.
you should add to you scripts:
plt.ion()

which will interactive mode on - which is what Spyder does.

plt.show() seems to be a better method to use in scripts though.
