The pedestrian way to do this is
g = Gnuplot.Gnuplot()
g.set(xrange=(-0.5,3.5), yrange=(0,None))
g('set datafile separator ","')
g('set style fill solid')
...
g.plot(
File(
'results.txt',
using='($0):(attempted_row(stringcolumn(1),$2)):xtic(1)',
with='boxes lc rgb "blue"',
title='Attempted',
),
File(
'results.txt',
using='...',
...,
),
...
)
The maintainable way would be to read the datafile and pick it apart
into separate lines using Python, then pass each line as a separate
Data() object to g.plot().
