How to Live Plot Streaming Twitter Data Using Python

I ran across some python code that allows continuous, live plotting of twitter stream data and sentiment rating. When the author of the code demonstrated it on Youtube, he was able to plot the twitter in a graph, and the graph updated with each tweet. However, when I run the same code, I get one graph for each tweet and the plot points do not form a continuous line--instead the output consists of one graph, one plot point for each tweet. I would like to get the graph to show the plotted point for all tweets in one chart in a continuous line.

BTW I am not the only person who ran into this same problem with the code. FYI I am currently running python 2.7, in a Spyder 3.2.8 development environment on Mac. I have attached the code (without access key information) and it has not been altered from the author's version. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Do you still have the youtube link.
Perhaps there's one tiny detail, that might explain the difference.
