    Used to display deprecation warning in a standard way.

    Parameters
    ----------
    since : str
        The release at which this API became deprecated.

    message : str, optional
        Override the default deprecation message.  The format
        specifier `%(func)s` may be used for the name of the function,
        and `%(alternative)s` may be used in the deprecation message
        to insert the name of an alternative to the deprecated
        function.  `%(obj_type)` may be used to insert a friendly name
        for the type of object being deprecated.

    name : str, optional
        The name of the deprecated function; if not provided the name
        is automatically determined from the passed in function,
        though this is useful in the case of renamed functions, where
        the new function is just assigned to the name of the

            def new_function():
                ...
            oldFunction = new_function

    alternative : str, optional
        An alternative function that the user may use in place of the
        deprecated function.  The deprecation warning will tell the user about
        this alternative if provided.

    pending : bool, optional
        If True, uses a PendingDeprecationWarning instead of a
        DeprecationWarning.

    obj_type : str, optional
        The object type being deprecated.

    instead store weak references to bound methods only, so when the
    destination object needs to die, the CallbackRegistry won't keep
    it alive.  The Python stdlib weakref module can not create weak
    references to bound methods directly, so we need to create a proxy
    object to handle weak references to bound methods (or regular free
    functions).  This technique was shared by Peter Parente on his

def boxplot_stats(X, whis=1.5, bootstrap=None, labels=None,

    """
    Returns list of dictionaries of statistics used to draw a series
    of box and whisker plots. The `Returns` section enumerates the
    required keys of the dictionary. Users can skip this function and
    pass a user-defined set of dictionaries to the new `axes.bxp` method
    instead of relying on MPL to do the calculations.

    Parameters
    ----------
    X : array-like
        Data that will be represented in the boxplots. Should have 2 or
        fewer dimensions.

    whis : float, string, or sequence (default = 1.5)
        As a float, determines the reach of the whiskers to the beyond the
        first and third quartiles. In other words, where IQR is the
        interquartile range (`Q3-Q1`), the upper whisker will extend to last
        datum less than `Q3 + whis*IQR`). Similarly, the lower whisker will
        extend to the first datum greater than `Q1 - whis*IQR`.
        Beyond the whiskers, data are considered outliers
        and are plotted as individual points. This can be set this to an
        ascending sequence of percentile (e.g., [5, 95]) to set the
        whiskers at specific percentiles of the data. Finally, `whis`
        can be the string ``'range'`` to force the whiskers to the
        minimum and maximum of the data. In the edge case that the 25th
        and 75th percentiles are equivalent, `whis` can be automatically
        set to ``'range'`` via the `autorange` option.

    bootstrap : int, optional
        Number of times the confidence intervals around the median
        should be bootstrapped (percentile method).

    labels : array-like, optional
        Labels for each dataset. Length must be compatible with
        dimensions of `X`.

    autorange : bool, optional (False)
        When `True` and the data are distributed such that the  25th and
        75th percentiles are equal, ``whis`` is set to ``'range'`` such
        that the whisker ends are at the minimum and maximum of the
        data.

    Returns
    -------
    bxpstats : list of dict
        A list of dictionaries containing the results for each column
        of data. Keys of each dictionary are the following:

        ========   ===================================
        Key        Value Description
        ========   ===================================
        label      tick label for the boxplot
        mean       arithemetic mean value
        med        50th percentile
        q1         first quartile (25th percentile)
        q3         third quartile (75th percentile)
        cilo       lower notch around the median
        cihi       upper notch around the median
        whislo     end of the lower whisker
        whishi     end of the upper whisker
