I'm getting a nonsensical error when attempting to make a simple plot
with a date axis. Googling shows this similar errors, but none with a
date axis. What could be causing this?
>>> import datetime
>>> from pylab import figure, show
>>> fig = figure()
>>> ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
>>> dates = [datetime.date(2008, 1, 30),datetime.date(2008, 1, 31)]
>>> values = [10.25, 10.0]
>>> ax.plot_date(dates, values)#, '-')
Traceback (most recent call last):
