It is a bug that is fixed in svn. The "this" part of the names is
incorrect. The revised function is:
def xaxis_date(self, tz=None):
"""Sets up x-axis ticks and labels that treat the x data as dates.
tz is the time zone to use in labeling dates. Defaults to rc
value.
"""
locator = self.xaxis.get_major_locator()
if not isinstance(locator, DateLocator):
locator = AutoDateLocator(tz)
self.xaxis.set_major_locator(locator)
formatter = self.xaxis.get_major_formatter()
if not isinstance(formatter, DateFormatter):
formatter = AutoDateFormatter(locator)
self.xaxis.set_major_formatter(formatter)
Similarly for yaxis_date.
