[Matplotlib-users] plot isnt plotting anymore, error in code?

[peter <com...@ya...>]

hi,

my code was working fine, but now i cant figure out what went wrong.
any ideas?

the code is supposed to plot a timeseries which it does and overlay it 
with another that is partially defined
the input file is contructed like this:
the first line is just for information purposes.
after that:
the first row is a growing number (the x value), the second is the 
timeseries and the third is the partially defined second timeseries

this is the code, after the code is a example input file.
the code is also accessible via this paste service: 
https://dpaste.de/5ZrX     it got a nice python code formatter.

 1. def plotTimeSeriesAndSAX(inputfile_tmp, verbose=False):
 2.
 3. if verbose:
