The example above works for me just fine (in ipython):
In [1]: import pylab

In [2]: import numpy

In [3]: t = numpy.arange(0.0, 1.0+0.01, 0.01)

In [4]: s = numpy.cos(2*2*numpy.pi*t)

In [5]: pylab.plot(t, s)
Out[5]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x3c36310>]

In [6]: pylab.show()  # At this point a plot of cos(t) appears as expected


Have you customised your matplotlibrc file? I have no problems with the above,

Sorry, I don't have this module installed.
