Hi Andre,
You should be able to set the size with the following:
params = {'length': 10}
axis = plt.axes().xaxis
axis.set_tick_params(which='major', **params)
You can also use 'minor' instead of 'major' to set the minor ticks. There
are a number of different valid values for the params dict, including
direction, width, and color.
