Hmm. Normally I would expect matplotlib to pop up a graph there. Are
you running this from a terminal, or from some sort of GUI? It might
make a difference to how it brings up the graph. Interestingly, I'm
not able to run your example on my system:

>>> pd.__version__
'0.17.1'
>>> pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=1000)
ValueError: Error parsing datetime string "1/1/2000" at position 1

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pandas/tseries/index.py",

SystemError: <class 'str'> returned a result with an error set

So it's possible you've run into something that's changed between
versions. Your original example works on my 2.7, although it doesn't
pop up a graph. So now I'm a bit lost. :)
