Hello Joseph,
I'm not sure I understand correctly, but it seems to me that the number of
plotted lines (from errorbar, len(gca().lines) ) is large compared to your 3
labels. That's why only the lines of the first errorbar are used to build the
legend.
It might to helpful to use the 'label' kwarg of errorbar to properly connect
the errorbar to a label. After that you can build the legend with 'legend()'.
regards Matthias
PS: Could you provide a complete example, if my suggestion doesn't help,
please?

Don't miss this year's exciting event. There's still time to save $100.
