Error with table() method on matplotlib

Hey guys, I'm getting the following error when using matplotlib's method table(). I'm running python 3, maybe this is why I get an error?

File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/matplotlib/table.py", line 478, in table rows = len(cellColours) TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()

I can't find anything on stack overflow. This is my code:

def plot_table_for_bar_chart(cell_text, row_text, columns):
    plt.style.use('ggplot')
    fig = plt.figure()

    ax2 = fig.add_subplot(111)
    ax2.axis('off')

    the_table = ax2.table(carllText=cell_text, rowLabels=row_text,colLabels=columns,loc='bottom')

I think you have a typo carllText=cell_text in your table method call:

the_table = ax2.table(carllText=cell_text, rowLabels=row_text,colLabels=columns,loc='bottom')

Probably should be cellText=cell_text?

I can't believe it... I swear i checked everything 3 or 4 times and I never saw the typo.

Thanks Lain :)
