[Python] Matplotlib - bar chart that shows frequency of unique values

I have an array like:

[1, 3, 5, 2, 12, 12, 3, 6,...] etc which varies between 1-12 that represents moths.

Now, I can plot them with

plt.hist(months,range(1, 13))
plt.title("Job Request per month")
plt.xlabel("Value")
plt.ylabel("Frequency")

plt.show()


Now, it shows count of unique values at histogram. However, I can't find a way for this with bar chart.

Full Code:

from pymongo import MongoClient
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def main():

client = MongoClient('mongodb://a12345:a12345@127.0.0.1:27017/')
db = client['newDatabase']
collection = db['jobs']
cursor = collection.find({}, {'_constructed': 1})

months = []
for document in cursor:
if '_constructed' in document:
months.append(document['_constructed'].month)

print(months);
plt.bar(months, range(1, 13))
plt.title("Job Request per month")
plt.xlabel("Value")
plt.ylabel("Frequency")

plt.show()

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
