TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'axis' how can i solve

############################################################### It always gives me an error like this:TypeError: init() missing 1 required positional argument: 'axis'. ################################################################### I dont know how to fix this. If a try :

...

plt.gca().set_yscale('custom', axis=1)

.... ################################################################################ I find this: TypeError: scale_factory() got multiple values for argument 'axis'
