it seems the code in barcharts wants a function or callable instance not just a callable. Try
replacing the _getlabelText method with

    def _getLabelText(self, rowNo, colNo):
        '''return formatted label text'''
        labelFmt = self.barLabelFormat
        if labelFmt is None:
            labelText = None
        elif type(labelFmt) is StringType:
            labelText = labelFmt % self.data[rowNo][colNo]
        elif callable(labelFmt):
            labelText = labelFmt(self.data[rowNo][colNo])
        else:
            msg = "Unknown formatter type %s, expected string or function" % labelFmt
            raise Exception, msg
        return labelText
