Here the code
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
#!/usr/bin/env python
from pylab import figure, show
from matplotlib.dates import AutoDateLocator, AutoDateFormatter,
drange, DateFormatter
import datetime
import random
dates = drange(datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 1), datetime.datetime(2010,
12,31), datetime.timedelta(days = 1))
opens = map(lambda a: random.random(), dates)
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot_date(dates, opens, '-')
majloc = AutoDateLocator()
majform = AutoDateFormatter(majloc)
ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(majloc)
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(majform)
ax.autoscale_view()
ax.grid(True)
fig.autofmt_xdate()
show()
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
It is just the same code as date_demo1.py from examples directory with
some modifications
My current locale is ru_RU.UTF-8 and i want plot the date ruller along
X axis in format of my locale, with russian names of months.
I can not do this because of this error when printing the chart
