In recent mpl, label='' should do it. In order versions, label='_nolegend_'

USAGE:
Make a legend with existing lines
>>> legend()
legend by itself will try and build a legend using the label
property of the lines/patches/collections. You can set the label of
a line by doing plot(x, y, label='my data') or line.set_label('my
data'). If label is set to '_nolegend_', the item will not be shown
in legend.
