Are you running python 2 or python 3? If you're on python 2, what happens
if you add "from __future__ import division" to the top of your script?

Your perturbed and unperturbed scenarios draw the same figure on my machine
(mpl v1.4.1).
The reason why you don't get any outliers is the following:
Boxplot uses matplotlib.cbook.boxplot_stats under the hood to compute where
everything will be drawn. If you look in there, you'll see this little

Hello,
I am migrating from octave to python and found matplotlib as an useful and
powerful resource.
I played with many animations examples and tried to build my own.
The objective is to build a live plot from data coming from an arduino.
The serial is working perfect (I can receive and plot data
I'm on python 2.
I get the same outputs after adding "from __future__ import division".

Uh, now I understand why it's behaving this way. Tx Paul.

How may I go about searching for the responsible code on my own in
situations like this?

Even though I'm familiar with the boxplot source code, I largely use
IPython for quick investigations like this.
In IPython, doing something like "matplotlib.Axes.boxplot??" shows the full
source code for that functions\.
Then I saw/remembered that boxplot now just calls
matplotlib.cbook.boxplot_
