joaquin s answer works  but has the side effect of removing ticks from the left side of the axes  To fix this  follow up tick right   with a call to set ticks position  both    A revised example   from matplotlib import pyplot as plt  f   plt figure   ax   f add subplot 111  ax yaxis tick right   ax yaxis set ticks position  both   plt plot  2 3 4 5   plt show     The result is a plot with ticks on both sides  but tick labels on the right

Just is case somebody asks  like I did   this is also possible when one uses subplot2grid  For example   import matplotlib pyplot as plt plt subplot2grid  3 2    0 1   rowspan 3  plt plot  2 3 4 5   plt tick params axis  y   which  both   labelleft  off   labelright  on   plt show     It will show this
