when plotting a graph using bokeh, how to remove missing date while x_axis type is datetime ,

I'm recently trying to plot stock data using bokeh, the data to plot is dataframe of pandas, like 

         date  value
0  2017-01-01     10
1  2017-01-02     20
2  2017-01-03     15
3  2017-01-06     30
4  2017-01-07     25

Since there are not trades on Saturday and Sunday, there are not records in this dataframe. So this is the image I drawed

enter image description here

Is there any way to remove the two space bar? My codes here:

import pandas as pd
from bokeh.plotting import figure
from bokeh.io import show


df = pd.DataFrame({"date":['2017-01-01','2017-01-02','2017-01-03','2017-01-06','2017-01-07']})
df["value"] = [10,20,15,30,25]
print(df)
width = 24*60*60*100
TOOLS = 'hover,crosshair,pan,wheel_zoom,box_zoom,reset,save,box_select'
picture = figure(width=1000, height=400, tools=TOOLS, x_axis_type='datetime')
picture.vbar(pd.to_datetime(df.date), width,df['value'],0, color='blue', alpha=0.5)
show(picture)

I have tried to search the solutions like:

How do I make bokeh omit missing dates when using datetime as x-axis

I found that in the bokeh's example, it also has this problem.

As of Bokeh 0.12.6 you can specify overrides for major tick labels on axes. 

import pandas as pd

from bokeh.io import show, output_file
from bokeh.plotting import figure
from bokeh.sampledata.stocks import MSFT

df = pd.DataFrame(MSFT)[:50]
inc = df.close > df.open
dec = df.open > df.close

p = figure(plot_width=1000, title="MSFT Candlestick with Custom X-Axis")

# map dataframe indices to date strings and use as label overrides
p.xaxis.major_label_overrides = {
    i: date.strftime('%b %d') for i, date in enumerate(pd.to_datetime(df["date"]))
}

# use the *indices* for x-axis coordinates, overrides will print better labels
p.segment(df.index, df.high, df.index, df.low, color="black")
p.vbar(df.index[inc], 0.5, df.open[inc], df.close[inc], fill_color="#D5E1DD", line_color="black")
p.vbar(df.index[dec], 0.5, df.open[dec], df.close[dec], fill_color="#F2583E", line_color="black")

output_file("custom_datetime_axis.html", title="custom_datetime_axis.py example")

show(p)

enter image description here

If you have a very large number of dates, this approach might become unwieldy, and a Custom Extension might become necessary.
