[SciPy-user] Converting arrays to dates for plot_date()

[Dharhas Pothina]

Thank you John, I tried that and got the error message :

TypeError: descriptor 'date' requires a 'datetime.datetime' object but received a 'numpy.float64'

but using datetime() rather than datetime.date() seems to work.

fyi. y'all have a great community here. I've asked two questions in the last few days and was answered quickly and correctly on both occasions.

thanks,

dates = [datetime.date(y,m,d) for y,m,d in zip(year, month, day)]
plot(dates, data)  # requires 0.91.2 or svn -- else use date2num and plot_date
