pandas - multi index plotting

I have some data where I've manipulated the dataframe using the following code:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

data = pd.DataFrame([[0,0,0,3,6,5,6,1],[1,1,1,3,4,5,2,0],[2,1,0,3,6,5,6,1],[3,0,0,2,9,4,2,1],[4,0,1,3,4,8,1,1],[5,1,1,3,3,5,9,1],[6,1,0,3,3,5,6,1],[7,0,1,3,4,8,9,1]], columns=["id", "sex", "split", "group0Low", "group0High", "group1Low", "group1High", "trim"])
data

#remove all where trim == 0
trimmed = data[(data.trim == 1)]
trimmed

#create df with columns to be split
columns = ['group0Low', 'group0High', 'group1Low', 'group1High']
to_split = trimmed[columns]
to_split

level_group = np.where(to_split.columns.str.contains('0'), 0, 1)
# output: array([0, 0, 1, 1])
level_low_high = np.where(to_split.columns.str.contains('Low'), 'low', 'high')
# output: array(['low', 'high', 'low', 'high'], dtype='<U4')

multi_level_columns = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays([level_group, level_low_high], names=['group', 'val'])
to_split.columns = multi_level_columns
to_split.stack(level='group')

sex = trimmed['sex']
split = trimmed['split']
horizontalStack = pd.concat([sex, split, to_split], axis=1)
horizontalStack

finalData = horizontalStack.groupby(['split', 'sex', 'group'])
finalData.mean()

My question is, how do I plot the mean data using ggplot or seaborn such that for each "split" level I get a graph that looks like this:

At the bottom of the code you can see I've tried to split up the group factor so I can separate the bars, but that resulted in an error (KeyError: 'group') and I think that is related to the way I used multi indexing

Can a Dataframe have multiple indexes?

A multi-index (also known as hierarchical index) dataframe uses more than one column as the index of the dataframe. A multi-index dataframe allows you to store your data in multi-dimension format, and opens up a lot of exciting to represent your data.

Can pandas be used for plotting?

Pandas uses the plot() method to create diagrams. We can use Pyplot, a submodule of the Matplotlib library to visualize the diagram on the screen. Read more about Matplotlib in our Matplotlib Tutorial.

I would use a factor plot from seaborn.

Say you have data like this:

import numpy as np
import pandas

import seaborn
seaborn.set(style='ticks') 
np.random.seed(0)

groups = ('Group 1', 'Group 2')
sexes = ('Male', 'Female')
means = ('Low', 'High')
index = pandas.MultiIndex.from_product(
    [groups, sexes, means], 
   names=['Group', 'Sex', 'Mean']
)

values = np.random.randint(low=20, high=100, size=len(index))
data = pandas.DataFrame(data={'val': values}, index=index).reset_index()
print(data)

     Group     Sex  Mean  val
0  Group 1    Male   Low   64
1  Group 1    Male  High   67
2  Group 1  Female   Low   84
3  Group 1  Female  High   87
4  Group 2    Male   Low   87
5  Group 2    Male  High   29
6  Group 2  Female   Low   41
7  Group 2  Female  High   56

You can then create the factor plot with one command + plus an extra line to remove some redundant (for your data) x-labels:

fg = seaborn.factorplot(x='Group', y='val', hue='Mean', 
                        col='Sex', data=data, kind='bar')
fg.set_xlabels('')

Which gives me:
