Contour will work as expected if the axes is in log scale. See below.
z = np.arange(100).reshape((10,10))
x = np.logspace(0, 4, 10)
y = np.logspace(0, 4, 10)
ax1 = subplot(121)
ax1.contour(np.log10(x), np.log10(y), z)
ax2 = subplot(122)
ax2.set_xscale("log")
ax2.set_yscale("log")
ax2.contour(x, y, z)

p.s. good to see another astronomer begin to use matplotlib.
