Re: [Matplotlib-users] Properly aligned tick labels on the inside

[Anthony M. F. <Ant...@co...>]

For the archives (and further proof that programming done during the
witching hour between 4pm and 5pm should be avoided at all costs):

The solution is easy.

 for tick in axes.yaxis.get_major_ticks():
     tick.set_pad(-25)
     tick.label2.set_horizontalalignment('right')
