You can do
"ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(ticker.FormatStrFormatter("%s"))" and then
the normal Python "%s"%myvar format handler will convert your datum to a
string.
The default formatter is pretty ugly in my opinion, as well. Someone
(me, probably) should endeavor to make rcParams out of this, as the
above code, or a variation of it, permeates my files.
