I think that should work, although you should use (max(bins) -
min(bins) / 1.5 / (len(bins) - 1), but I would suggest:

bounds = {some N + 1 array}
center = 0.5 * (bounds[1:] + bounds[:-1])
width = 0.9 * (bounds[1:] - bounds[:-1])
offset = 0.5 * width

plt.bar(center - offset, {some N array}, width = width)

but I haven't tested it.  bar() does accept an iterable as *width* argument.
