When plotting plt.plot(np.ones(10), np.ones((10,0)) it raises a ZeroDivisionError, which confused me much.

Code for reproduction

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

plt.plot(np.ones(10), np.ones((10,0)))

This raises the error:

ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero

Expected outcome

I think however, it should either raise a ValueError, similar to plotting plt.plot(np.ones(2), np.ones(10)), i.e. something of the form:
ValueError: x and y must have same first dimension, but have shapes (10,) and (10, 0)

An alternative would be not ploting anything (similar to the behaviour of plt.plot(np.nan, np.nan) ) and potentially raise a warning.
