AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'lowercase'

I think I'm having troubles importing pylab. A similar error occurs when I import numpy. Here is my code

from math import radians, sin, cos
from pylab import plot, xlabel, ylabel, title, show

v0=input("Enter v0 (m/s)...")
alpha0=input("enter alpha0 (degrees)...")
g=input("Enter g (m/s^2)..")

radalpha0=radians(alpha0)
t_inc=0.01
t=0
i=0
x=[]
y=[]

x.append(v0*cos(radalpha0)*t)
y.append(v0*sin(radalpha0)*t-0.5*g*t*t)

while y[i]>=0:
    i=i+1
    t=t+t_inc
    x.append(v0*cos(radalpha0)*t)
    y.append(v0*sin(radalpha0)*t-0.5*g*t*t)

xlabel('x')
ylabel('x')
plot(x,y)
title('Motion in two dimensions')
show()

I get this output

Is there any problem with the syntax?

I'm using python2.7 on fedora18.

2020 addendum: Note string.lowercase was for Python 2 only.

In Python 3, use string.ascii_lowercase instead of string.lowercase

Python 3.6.8 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 10.0.1 (clang-1001.0.46.4)] on darwin
>>> import string
>>> string.lowercase
Traceback (most recent call last):

>>> string.ascii_lowercase
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
