This is the correct approach but it is a tricky one. In matplotlib,
the ticks are *markers*. All Line2D objects support a line (solid,
dashed, etc) and a marker (circle, square, tick). The tick linewidth
is controlled by the "markeredgewidth" property.
from pylab import figure, show
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(range(10))
for line in ax.get_xticklines() + ax.get_yticklines():
line.set_markeredgewidth(10)
show()
BTW -- this is covered in the somewhat new artist api tutorial at
