You can convert your nested list to a 2d numpy array and then use slicing to get the alphas and epoch counts (just like in matlab).
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# code to simulate the perceptron goes here...
res = your_object.alpha_convergence_function()
res = np.asarray(res)
print('array size:', res.shape)
plt.xkcd() # so you get the sketchy look :)
# first column -> x-axis, second column -> y-axis
plt.plot(res[:,0], res[:,1])
plt.show()
Remove the plt.xkcd() line if you don't actually want the plot to look like a sketch...
