Another option you may try is to use axes_grid1 toolkit.
Attached is a simplified version of the script I have been using.
matplotlib v1.0 is required.
IHTH,
-JJ
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import SubplotDivider
import mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.axes_size as axes_size
class SizeFromFunc(axes_size._Base):
def __init__(self, func):
self._func = func
def get_size(self, renderer):
rel_size = 0.
bb = self._func(renderer)
dpi = renderer.points_to_pixels(72.)
abs_size = bb/dpi
return rel_size, abs_size
class GetExtentHelper(object):
def __init__(self, ax):
self._ax = ax
def __call__(self, renderer):
# return width of ticklabels on the left side of axes
return self._ax.yaxis.get_ticklabel_extents(renderer)[0].width
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.set_yticks([0.5])
ax.set_yticklabels(["very long label"])
helper = GetExtentHelper(ax)
divider = SubplotDivider(fig, 1, 1, 1,
horizontal=[SizeFromFunc(helper),
axes_size.Scaled(1.)],
vertical=[axes_size.Scaled(1.)],
aspect=False)
ax.set_axes_locator(divider.new_locator(nx=1, ny=0))
plt.show()
