access to histograms failing in Julia 1.0.1

[SimonEnsemble]

Access to histograms no longer works for me and my student...

using PyPlot
PyPlot[:hist]

import PyPlot; const plt = PyPlot
plt[:hist]
plt[:hist]() # this too fails

both give error:

ERROR: MethodError: no method matching getindex(::Module, ::Symbol)
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope at none:0

how do we access the histogram function in Julia 1.0?

PyPlot.jl already exports plt so it's just:

using PyPlot
data = 1:10
plt[:hist](data)

@tkf thanks. Should one of us make a pull request to update the README for PyPlot.jl?

You don't need any permission to make a PR!

The current documentation is correct — it doesn't say to use PyPlot[:hist], it says to use plt[:hist].

If there is something that is unclear, a PR would be welcome.
