Chao,
The secret is positioning your ticks. I list here an untested attempt at
putting the labels at the average of the current and next levels:
cbar.set_ticks((cbarlevel[1:]+cbarlevel[:-1])/2.)
Because you have less ticks, then you will want to remove the line
cbar_level.append('')
Hope that helps,
Sterling
