Ben,

Thank you.  Behavior and docstring are fixed in 8554, 8555.

Hi,

Firstly, excellent to see matplotlib reach its 1.0 release!

I came across an inconsistency in the way XAxis and YAxis behave in the
set_ticks_position() method.  If you remove the X-axis ticks with

    my_axes.xaxis.set_ticks_position('none')

it leaves the labels alone, whereas if you do the same on the Y-axis:

    my_axes.yaxis.set_ticks_position('none')

it removes both sets of labels.  The docstring for the X-axis method
says "'none' and 'both' affect only the ticks, not the labels", and
although the Y-axis docstring doesn't have this phrase, I guess it's
probably intended that the labels are left alone there too.  The patch
below does this.

Thanks,

Ben.
