rectangular markers in bubble plot (Python) I would like to make a 'bubble' plot, but with rectangular markers. Is it possible to do this in Python?

On x-axis should be the day of the week (Mon, Tue, Wed,...), on y-axis - counts, how many times people came to a restaurant, the area of rectangles - the number of people came to a restaurant. A height of rectangles is always the same, only a width changes.

So, one rectangle on the plot shows how many people how many times came to a restaurant on a particular day of the week. As axis y may have values > 30, bubbles are not suitable and I consider that rectangles works better.

A sketch of what I would like to draw is below.



Is it possible to draw rectangular markers or is there another good way for visualizing the same concept?

UPDATE:
I've already tried box and violin plots. 
The problem with boxplots is that in my case a height of a box is quite small and a tail is long. There are a lot of points indicating outliers. I would prefer to see some difference in outliers instead of a single point. With a bubble plot, it is possible to use some customized function for bubble size, e,g, logarithm.
I can imagine a transposed boxplot() working well... in a figure with seven subplots...
