title: No module named 'matplotlib.finance', deprecated, and mpl_finance non maintained either
body: <p>I need to plot a few candlesticks charts with additional lines and various graphics on the chart, but I found that <code>matplotlib.finance</code> has been deprecated. Replaced by <code>mpl_finance</code>, but that's unmaintained too.</p>
  
  <p>What should a honest newborn python developer use these days to plot candlesticks? any ideas? </p>
  
  <p>The code I would be going to use for this would be something like: </p>
  
  <p>import matplotlib.pyplot as plt</p>
  
  <pre><code>from matplotlib.dates import DateFormatter, WeekdayLocator,\
      DayLocator, MONDAY
  from matplotlib.finance import candlestick_ohlc
  
      mondays = WeekdayLocator(MONDAY)
      alldays = DayLocator()              # minor ticks on the days
      weekFormatter = DateFormatter('%b %d')  # e.g., Jan 12
      dayFormatter = DateFormatter('%d')      # e.g., 12
  
      fig, ax = plt.subplots()
      fig.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.2)
      ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(mondays)
      ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(alldays)
      ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(weekFormatter)
      # ax.xaxis.set_minor_formatter(dayFormatter)
  
      #plot_day_summary(ax, quotes, ticksize=3)
      candlestick_ohlc(ax, candles, width=0.6)
  
      ax.xaxis_date()
      ax.autoscale_view()
      plt.setp(plt.gca().get_xticklabels(),
               rotation=45, horizontalalignment='right')
  </code></pre>
