importerror cannot import name candlestick

I got an error message from Python:

Traceback (most recent call last):  
  File "stock_script.py", line 9, in <module>  
    from matplotlib.finance import candlestick  
ImportError: cannot import name candlestick

Why?

Not very nice changing the name and breaking existing code...

I have fixed this by changing the import like this.

from matplotlib.finance import candlestick_ohlc as candlestick

No further changes are then needed in the code.

You need to add an underscore to it to use this same library:

from matplotlib.finance import _candlestick
