Has it anything to do with my matplotlib version (0.99.0) and python (2.6.4) on ubuntu karmic?

following code:

#------
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot,mpl

x = np.arange(10)
y = np.arange(25)
z = np.floor(10*np.random.random((25,10)))

pyplot.contourf(x,y,z)

cb = pyplot.colorbar()

for j in cb.ax.get_yticklabels():
   print(j)
#----

results in:

Text(0,0,'')
Text(0,0,'')
Text(0,0,'')
Text(0,0,'')
Text(0,0,'')
Text(0,0,'')
Text(0,0,'')

That's not what i expected and makes it hard to change single ticklabels.

Cheers,

Mario
