@AshishNitinPatil is there unified way to plot in python? Why should one follow 10 different procedures for each type of task? — Dims, Aug 22 '17 at 12:29
@Dims The procedure is always the same, read the docs and do as they say. — Stop harming Monica, Aug 22 '17 at 12:33

You're missing an import statement. Add from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D and you should be fine.
