I don't think it's currently possible in any sort of "automatic" way.
There have been thoughts of adding support for multiple y labels in the
past, but that's a medium-sized chunk of work.
However, as a roundabout approach, you could add figure text:
t = gcf().text(0.5, 0.05, "Margin $",
horizontalalignment='center', color=marginColor)
The location of the text is specified relative to the whole figure (in
the range 0-1). It may take some tweaking to get the positioning right.
BTW -- I don't know if you're using 0.90 or 0.91. In 0.91, since the
string "Sales $\nMargin $" has two dollar-signs, the section between
them will be treated as math notation. To avoid that, you can escape
the dollar signs, i.e. "Sales \\$\nMargin \\$".
Cheers,
Mike
