Gnuplot.py doesn't know how to output dates. And since it uses Numeric
arrays to store data, it wouldn't be trivial to fix this for the general
case.
So you probably need to write your data to a temporary file yourself
(using a date format that can be understood by gnuplot), then plot the
data directly from the file.
If you want to get fancier, then you can define a new PlotItem that
knows how to output dates, then the whole Gnuplot.py infrastructure
should simply work.
There was just a discussion on this mailing list about plotting dates.
See the archives.
