python histogram with log scale on both x and y axes

Question

I'm trying to plot a histogram of a list of 48103 positive integers, ranging from 1 to over 400,000. If I use the default settings, I get the following thoroughly unhelpful plot:

The following question explains how to make the x-axis logarithmic: plotting a histogram on a Log scale with Matplotlib

But I don't think that will be enough. I need to make the y-axis logarithmic too.

How do I do that?

Thanks

Ok, this works:

plt.hist(data,bins=[1,10,100,1000,10000,100000,1000000])
plt.xscale('log')
plt.yscale('log')
plt.show()```
