problem with import pylab from a website

[jean.rossier at epfl.ch]

Hello All,
I am facing a problem while importing pylab library(in a .py program file) via
web browser however the same program works when I execute it from the command
prompt.


my configuration :

Fedora Core 3
Apache 2.0
python 2.3.4
postgresql 7.3.4
mod_python-3.1.3-5

Error message we get:
