distplot bins argument

[justmytwospence]

The documentation states that:

Unlike the default matplotlib hist function, distplot tries to use a good number of bins for the dataset you have, although all of the options for specifying bins in hist can be used.`

Attempting to use the bins argument results in:

TypeError: distplot() got an unexpected keyword argument 'bins'

Attempting to pass it through with kwargs fails as well:

hist_kws = {"bins": 10}

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Are you using the version on PyPi? At the moment the docs correspond to the 0.2.dev version (because they didn't exist when 0.1 was released), and bins was added since 0.1 (the fact that you can't specify bins in 0.1's hist_kws dict is a bug).

If you want to install the github version it's pretty easy, otherwise I expect to release 0.2 within a week or so.

I was indeed using the PyPi version. I'll probably just wait for the 0.2 release - thanks!
