Hi Matthew,
JJ's suggestion should work to make the ticks bolder:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/artists.html#axis-containers (See
the lines at the very bottom)
In your code you should
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(range(10)
ax = plt.gca() #for each axis or whichever axis you want you should
for line in ax.xaxis.get_ticklines():
line.set_markeredgewidth(3)
This makes the x-ticks substantially visible.
