pyplot + pandas displaying graph outside a notebook

[gbowerman]

Hi @klq, figured out why I couldn’t display pyplot graphs of pandas data outside a notebook..
I was missing the pyplot.show() command – it’s not needed in a notebook but is needed in a standalone Python program.
E.g. this works..

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

df = pd.read_csv('./data/alltime_movies200_clean.csv')
plt.plot(df['domestic total gross'])
plt.show()

Thanks again for an excellent session. You can close this, just an FYI.
