You could set the formatter yourself instead of manipulating strings or
setting the ticklabels by hand. IE:
my_formatter = matplotlib.ticker.FormatStrFormatter('a%s')
#etc... see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/ticker_api.html
a = plt.gca()
a.xaxis.set_major_formatter(my_formatter)
plt.draw()
