ValueError: too many values to unpack matplotlib errorbar
<p>I am trying to plot a errorbar:</p>

<pre><code>plt.errorbar(np.array(x_axis), np.array(y_axis), yerr=(np.array(y_bot), np.array(y_top)), linestyle='None', marker='^')
</code></pre>

<p>But it throws an error :</p>

<pre><code>plt.errorbar(np.array(x_axis), np.array(y_axis), yerr=(np.array(y_bot), np.array(y_top)), linestyle='None', marker='^')

<p>x_axis, y_axis, y_bot, x_bot are 1D array of length 4.</p>

<p>The following works fine for me:</p>

<pre><code>import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x_axis = range(4)
y_axis = range(4)
y_bot = range(4)
y_top = range(4)
plt.errorbar(np.array(x_axis), np.array(y_axis), yerr=(np.array(y_bot), np.array(y_top)), linestyle='None', marker='^')
</code></pre>

<p>You way want to verify your arrays</p>
