Another couple things you may find useful as I did:
fig = pyplot.figure()
spl = fig.add_subplot(111)
to properly "clip" the plot in case you are using polygons or similar,
you can use the nonposy option:
spl.set_yscale('log', nonposy='clip')
Here is my hand made formula for setting reasonable limits on the
y-axis, given a numpy.array "yarr" as the list of y-values. The ymin
gets the minimum value that's not zero since you can't plot zero on a
log scale (negative numbers may cause a whole other problem):
spl.set_ylim(
ymin = 10**(int(math.log(min(yarr[numpy.where(yarr>0)]), 10))-1),
ymax = 10**(int(math.log(max(yarr), 10)+0.2)+1) )
