how to plot histogram in matplotlib when data is in tuples?
I need to plot a histogram of the 5 most frequently occurring words in a list. I've used the collections module's c.counter().most_common() to give me the following tuples:
[('you', 7706), ('i', 6570), ('we', 2733), ('my', 2718), ('he', 2369)]
How can I plot a histogram when the data is in the format ('word', frequency)?
The format that I am familiar with is: ['you', 'you', 'you', ... , 'i', 'i', 'i', ... , etc.]
I know that I could multiply the string times the integer in each element to build a new list in the format I am familiar with to plot on the histogram but I feel like there has to be a more efficient way to do this.

Unzip your list of tuples:
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
a = [('you', 7706), ('i', 6570), ('we', 2733), ('my', 2718), ('he', 2369)]
plt.bar(*zip(*a))
plt.show()

Here's an extension of above solution using Matplotlib as well as Seaborn:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
lst = [('you', 7706), ('i', 6570), ('we', 2733), ('my', 2718), ('he', 2369)]
val, cnt = (zip(*lst))
val, cnt = list(val), list(cnt)
val, cnt
# (['you', 'i', 'we', 'my', 'he'], [7706, 6570, 2733, 2718, 2369])
# using Matplotlib
length = len(cnt)
plt.bar(np.arange(length), cnt, label=True)
plt.xticks(np.arange(len(cnt)), val)
plt.show()
# using seaborn
sns.barplot( val, cnt )
