In [14]: from matplotlib import dates

simple snippet (with some additional formatting and stuff you might need):
In [13]: dateFmt = mpl.dates.DateFormatter('%Y-%m-%d')
In [14]: ax2.xaxis.set_major_formatter(dateFmt)
In [15]: daysLoc = mpl.dates.DayLocator()
In [16]: hoursLoc = mpl.dates.HourLocator(interval=6)
In [17]: ax2.xaxis.set_major_locator(daysLoc)
In [18]: ax2.xaxis.set_minor_locator(hoursLoc)
In [19]: fig.autofmt_xdate(bottom=0.18) # adjust for correct date labels display
In [20]: fig.subplots_adjust(left=0.18)
HTH
