Python3, with fixed indentation, and default for bins (because this is a top google result for "numpy ascii histogram")

def ascii_hist(x, bins=10):
    N,X = np.histogram(x, bins=bins)
    total = 1.0*len(x)
    width = 50
    nmax = N.max()
    for (xi, n) in zip(X,N):
        bar = '#'*int(n*1.0*width/nmax)
        xi = '{0: <8.4g}'.format(xi).ljust(10)
        print('{0}| {1}'.format(xi,bar))
