Running IJulia on Conda. Trying to plot Quandl data

Simple example of using Google prices in DataFrame format. Gadfly plot gives the following error: TypeError(u'There is no Line2D property "y"',). Also references matplotlib for some reason.

Here's code:

using Quandl
using DataFrames

google = quandl("GOOG/NASDAQ_QQQ", format = "DataFrame")

date = google[1]

dt_str = Array(Any,length(date))
for i=1:length(date)
dt_str[i] = string(date[i]);
end

price = google[5]

using Gadfly

set_default_plot_size(20cm, 10cm)

p1 = plot(x=dt_str, y=price,
Geom.point, 
Geom.smooth(method=:lm),
Guide.xticks(ticks=[1:25]),
Guide.yticks(ticks=[1:25]),
Guide.xlabel("Date"), 
Guide.ylabel("Price"),
Guide.title("Google: Close Price"))

LoadError: PyError (:PyObject_Call) 
TypeError(u'There is no Line2D property "y"',)

The presence of the PyError would imply to me that the session in which this example was executed has loaded PyPlot prior to loading Gadfly. Both PyPlot and Gadfly export the plot function, so uses of plot in a session where both PyPlot and Gadfly have been loaded require the qualification of the function name with the package name (e.g. PyPlot.plot or Gadfly.plot).

Executing your example in a session where PyPlot has not been loaded, but Gadfly is loaded, produces a Gadfly plot without displaying the error message provided in your post.
