I am trying to graph two lists with matplotlib but I am getting an error regarding the dimension of x and y. One of the lists contains dates and the other numbers, you can see the content of the lists, I have printed them below.
I have tried checking the length of the lists with len() and they seem to be equal so I am a bit lost. I have checked several theads on this error without much luck.
Note: "query" contains my SQL query which I have not included for simplicity.
##### My code
t = 0
for row in query:
data = query[t]
date.append(data[0])
close.append(data[1])
t = t + 1
print "date = ", date
print "close = ", close
print "date length = ", len(date)
print "close length = ", len(close)
def plot2():
plt.plot(date, close)
plt.show()
plot2()
#
Output of my script:
date = [datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 31, 22, 0), datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 31, 22, 1), datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 31, 22, 2), datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 31, 22, 3), datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 31, 22, 4), datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 31, 22, 5), datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 31, 22, 6), datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 31, 22, 7), datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 31, 22, 8), datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 31, 22, 9), datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 31, 22, 10)]

Thanks in advance.
