matplotlib y axis log scale

import pylab
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
a = [pow(10, i) for i in range(10)]
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(2, 1, 1)

line, = ax.plot(a, color='blue', lw=2)

ax.set_yscale('log')

pylab.show()

logarithmic scale fitting python

fig=plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

z=np.arange(1, len(x)+1) #start at 1, to avoid error from log(0)

logA = np.log(z) #no need for list comprehension since all z values >= 1
logB = np.log(y)

m, c = np.polyfit(logA, logB, 1, w=np.sqrt(y)) # fit log(y) = m*log(x) + c
y_fit = np.exp(m*logA + c) # calculate the fitted values of y 

plt.plot(z, y, color = 'r')
plt.plot(z, y_fit, ':')

ax.set_yscale('symlog')
ax.set_xscale('symlog')
#slope, intercept = np.polyfit(logA, logB, 1)
plt.xlabel("Pre_referer")
plt.ylabel("Popularity")
ax.set_title('Pre Referral URL Popularity distribution')
plt.show()
