That’s weird. You are sure that “precision” has more than one value?    E.g., 
>>> np.array([0.89]).std()
0.0

Also here, your input array or list for the boxplot function may not be 
formatted correctly. What you want is

two_models = [ 1Darray_of_model1_results, 1Darray_of_model2_results ]

plt.boxplot(two_models,     
    notch=False, # box instead of notch shape 
    sym='rs',    # red squares for outliers
    vert=True)   # vertical box aligmnent


PS: If you are comparing specifically 2 neural network models, have you 
considered McNemar’s test? E.g., see
https://github.com/rasbt/mlxtend/blob/master/docs/sources/user_guide/evaluate/mcnemar.ipynb
