BUG : fix errors when using fliers

doplot for horizontal boxes (internal bxp helper function) assumes that
it will be passed an even number of positional arguments which it swaps
pair-wise.  The code to draw the fliers also passes in a format string
which breaks the assumption.

 - re-worked how `bxp` deals with the `sym` input
 - minor pep8
BUG : handle colors passed in via sym in bxp

If the user passes is the string 'ro' assume they want filled circles.
This is also the old behavior.
