Matplotlib right y-axis numbers in line

Question

I'm trying to make one plot with multiple y-axis with this example: https://matplotlib.org/faq/howto_faq-1.pdf

I'm a little dissatisfied about the alignment of the right y-axis.

1.00
0.50
0.00
-0.50
-1.00

Is it possible to change the alignment and get the numbers in line, like:

 1.00
 0.50
 0.00
-0.50
-1.00

Is there any way to add leading spaces to tick marks?

The dupe I marked is about colorbars, however the same solution can be applied to the second y axis — DavidG, Apr 12 '18 at 17:25

Use the following three lines to set horizontal alignment and move labels outside the plot:

for label in ax2.get_yticklabels():
    label.set_horizontalalignment('right')
ax2.get_yaxis().set_tick_params(pad=40)
