Does matplotlib have a convenient way to produce a histogram of 
categorical (possibly non-numeric) values?  I can do it with bar(), 
but there's a fair amount of boilerplate involved (calculating the 
frequencies, counting the number of distinct values, etc.).  This 
seems like it would be a common task, so I'm wondering if there's a 
function for it, or, failing that, a standard recipe.

Thanks,
