I know this is an old post, but just in case. For arrowstyle="<->", they are just lines (well, not exactly as a matter of fact). So, what you need is to change their linewidths. You may do
arrow1=pylab.annotate("", xytext=(0.1,0.1), xy=(0.9,0.9),fontsize=8, arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="<->,head_length=1,head_width=0.8", # I'm changing the head_length and head_width to make the arrow more visible. linewidth=3)) On the other hand, the underlying artist associated with the arrow can be accessed by *arrow1.arrow_patch*. Note that it is actually an instance of Patch.
