title: matplotlib.pyplot vs matplotlib.pylab
body: <p>I usually use the following package to create my plots: <code>matplotlib.pylab</code>. However, there is also a package called <code>matplotlib.pyplot</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I have not been able to spot any difference between the two when using them. So my question is the following: </p>
  
  <p>What is the difference between the packages <code>matplotlib.pylab</code> and <code>matplotlib.pyplot</code>. In which cases would you advice one over the other?</p>
