Fit a gaussian function

I have a histogram (see below) and I am trying to find the mean and standard deviation along with code which fits a curve to my histogram. I think there is something in SciPy or matplotlib that can help, but every example I've tried doesn't work.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

with open('gau_b_g_s.csv') as f:
    v = np.loadtxt(f, delimiter= ',', dtype="float", skiprows=1, usecols=None)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

plt.hist(v, bins=500, color='#7F38EC', histtype='step')

plt.title("Gaussian")
plt.axis([-1, 2, 0, 20000])

plt.show()
