this will help people understand that it need to be a list

It'd be lovely if this worked, however:

Don't use a empty list as default argument in Python.

Thank for the info ,so I assume a function definition is needed. Anyway, thanks for the package, it is great for fast and easy monitoring cluster queue!

If you don't care about python2 you can just declare typing:

def plot(
    x,
    y,
    width: int=80,
    height: int=25,
    label: Optional[str]=None,
    xlim: Optional[Tuple[float, float]]=None,
    ylim: Optional[Tuple[float, float]]=None,
    xlabel: Optional[str]=None,
    title: Optional[str]=None,
    extra_gnuplot_arguments: Optional[List[str]]=None,
    plot_command: str="plot '-' w lines",
    ticks_scale: float=0,
):

Looks good, anyway pip2 is not supported: pip3 install -U termplotlib
