A (partial) workaround is possible using the axes_grid1 toolkit (i.e.,
you need matplotlib 1.0).
Attached is a module I just cooked up (based on my previous attempt @
http://www.mail-archive.com/mat...@li.../msg18129.html),
and it seems to work quite well.
The usage is simple.


        ax = plt.axes([0,0,1,1])

        ax.set_yticks([0.5])
        ax.set_yticklabels(["very long label"])

        make_axes_area_auto_adjustable(ax) # This is where axes_grid1 comes in

Then, the axes area(including ticklabels and axis label) will be
automatically adjusted to fit in the given extent ([0, 0, 1, 1] in the
above case).

While this is mainly for a single axes plot, you may use it with
multi-axes plot (but somewhat trickier to use). A few examples are
included in the module.
