I have a very simple code that should draw an XY chart using pygal library, firstly, the code:
@app.route('/graph2/',methods=["GET","POST"])
def graph2():
graph = pygal.XY()
f=[('f20', 2868, datetime(2016, 5, 1, 6, 54, 46)),('f21', 2887, datetime(2016, 5, 1, 6, 55, 37)),('c9', 2868, datetime(2016, 5, 1, 6, 55, 42)),('f20', 2868, datetime(2016, 5, 1, 6, 55, 46)),('f21', 2887, datetime(2016, 5, 1, 6, 56, 37)),('c9', 2862, datetime(2016, 5, 1, 6, 56, 42))]
graph.add('f21', [(item[2],item[1] if item[0]=='f21' else 0) for item in f] )
graph.add('f20', [(item[2],item[1] if item[0]=='f20' else 0) for item in f] )
values = [(item[2],item[1] if item[0]=='f20' else 0) for item in f]
print values # values here is just for test purpose
print "cool?" # this gets printed
graph_data = graph.render_data_uri()
print "cooler?" # this is not printed
return render_template("graph.html", graph_data = graph_data)
So, it appears that this error happens when it is rendering

I have no clue how to fix this problem, any suggestions?
