Try scatter(x, y, alpha=0)
This works for me with GTKAgg and svn, and I expect it will work with 87.7 also. There was some discussion about how to support something like "c=None", but I don't recall the outcome, and I don't know whether scatter is now an anomaly--but I don't think so. I think we just never got around to implementing a uniform solution. (The idea was that we don't want to use None in the kwarg to mean no color because it is more useful and conventional to have it mean "use the default". Therefore some string (e.g. "blank" or "nocolor" or "empty") should be used to denote "don't paint it at all", and should always work that way when a colorspec is allowed.)
