Matplotlib: errorbar throws a ValueError: too many values to unpack

I've been working on the errorbars in Matplotlib, and kept getting this error.
To avoid it, check your array dimensions: errorbar(), unlike scatterplot(), keeps on insisting on (x, ) error array dimensions.
1D arrays (vectors) in Numpy can be of shape (x, 1) or (x, ). That's usually interchangeable, but in cases like that, np.reshape(x, (x.shape[0], )) does the trick.
I think hope there is a deep underlying reason for that.
