See these parameters from your matplotlibrc file:
http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc

  xtick.major.pad      : 4      # distance to major tick label in points
  xtick.minor.pad      : 4      # distance to the minor tick label in points
  ytick.major.pad      : 4      # distance to major tick label in points
  ytick.minor.pad      : 4      # distance to the minor tick label in points

>From code, you can also control the pad with, for example, 

for tick in ax.xaxis.get_major_ticks():
    tick.set_pad(6)

ditto for the yaxis and minor ticks..
