Pandas and Matplotlib - fill_between() vs datetime64

Question

There is a Pandas DataFrame:

Int64Index: 300 entries, 5220 to 5519
Data columns (total 3 columns):
Date                 


        

Answer 1

I encountered this issue after upgrading to Pandas 0.21. My code ran fine previously with fill_between() but broke after the upgrade.

It turns out that this fix mentioned in @unutbu 's answer, which is what I had before anyway, only works if the DatetimeIndex contains date objects rather than datetime objects that has time info.

Looking at the example above, what I did to fix it was to add the following line before calling fill_between():

d['Date'] = [z.date() for z in d['Date']]
