Answer 1

You can do something similar with seaborn.swarmplot. I also use seaborn.boxplot (with the whiskers and caps turned off) to plot the mean and range:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
sns.set_style("whitegrid")
tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
ax = sns.swarmplot(x="day", y="total_bill", data=tips)
ax = sns.boxplot(x="day", y="total_bill", data=tips,
        showcaps=False,boxprops={'facecolor':'None'},
        showfliers=False,whiskerprops={'linewidth':0})

plt.show()
