For a Matplotlib plot, how do I hide the tick marks but keep the tick labels?

Question

When creating a 2-D plot in Matplotlib, what method hides the tick marks/lines but not the labels? I want the opposite of this question. I do not see an appropriate method in the Matplotlib API.

As a hack, I have considered "hiding" the tick marks by setting the color to match the background (e.g., white). Is there a better way?

The appropriate method to manipulate the ticks is .tick_params().

Here you want to turn the ticks off, but not the labels, hence

ax.tick_params(axis="x", bottom=False)

for a single axis, or

ax.tick_params(left=False, bottom=False)

for both axes.
