Dear all,
None of the obvious ways for changing ticklabels seem to work for the current version of Matplotlib (1.2.0 for me). At present, ax.yaxis.get_ticklabels().get_text() returns empty strings, as does ax.get_yticklabels(), and the equivalent set_* functions don't seem to have any effect.
So: help!
Yours,
Andrew

It seems to be working for me. I'm using a development version but I
don't thing this has changed.

it also works for me for 1.2.0

In [4]: ax.set_xticklabels('abcdefghij')

In [5]: [t.get_text() for t in ax.get_xticklabels()]
Out[5]: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i']
