I am looking to create a simple bar plot, where the grouped qualitative values for "source" are the x-axis and the quantiative values of "retweet_count" are the y-axis.
I want the total number of retweets by source.
_id created_at geo id retweet_count source text

df.plot(x='source', y='retweet_count', kind='bar')
This is something I've been banging my head on but it probably right in front of me.
