当我尝试绘制带有日期时间的 pandas DataFrame 列的一部分时，我得到一个 KeyError。有人知道是什么原因造成的吗？
我设法在一个独立的小示例中重现了该错误（您也可以在此处查看：http: //nbviewer.ipython.org/3714142/）：
import numpy as np
from pandas import DataFrame
import datetime
from pylab import *
test = DataFrame({'x' : [datetime.datetime(2012,9,10) + datetime.timedelta(n) for n in range(10)],
'y' : range(10)})
现在，如果我绘制：
plot(test['x'][0:5])
没有问题，但是当我绘制时：
plot(test['x'][5:10])
我得到下面的 KeyError （并且错误消息对我不是很有帮助）。这只发生在日期时间列上，而不是其他列（据我所知）。例如plot(test['y'][5:10])不是问题。
错误信息：
