Use the following code it worked for me     Create the figure fig   plt figure   ax   fig add subplot 111  projection  3d      Generate the values x vals   X iso    0 1  y vals   X iso    1 2  z vals   X iso    2 3     Plot the values ax scatter x vals  y vals  z vals  c    b   marker  o   ax set xlabel  X-axis   ax set ylabel  Y-axis   ax set zlabel  Z-axis    plt show     while X iso is my 3-D array and for X vals  Y vals  Z vals I copied used 1 column axis from that array and assigned to those variables arrays respectively

You can use matplotlib for this  matplotlib has a mplot3d module that will do exactly what you want   from matplotlib import pyplot from mpl toolkits mplot3d import Axes3D import random   fig   pyplot figure   ax   Axes3D fig   sequence containing x vals   list range 0  100   sequence containing y vals   list range 0  100   sequence containing z vals   list range 0  100    random shuffle sequence containing x vals  random shuffle sequence containing y vals  random shuffle sequence containing z vals   ax scatter sequence containing x vals  sequence containing y vals  sequence containing z vals  pyplot show     The code above generates a figure like
