matplotlib

I just copied and pasted the code that was posted on the website, but it does not run successfully.
M using python 2.7 with Anaconda Spyder3 environment.
M new to Python , and I tried so many methods to fix it . but none of it works

That will be a great help if anyone can help me to solve this problem. Otherwise I can not continue with rest of following videos :(

    strconverter = mdates.strpdate2num(fmt)
    def bytesconverter(b):
        s = b.decode(encoding)
        return strconverter(s)
    return bytesconverter
