python - Matplotlib date manipulation so that the year tick show up every 12 months

I'm plotting a figure where the default format shows up as:

Year tick shows up every 12 months, but months show only every 3 months

I would like to modify it so that the month ticks show up every 1 month but keep the year. My current attempt is this:

years = mdates.YearLocator()
months = mdates.MonthLocator()
monthsFmt = mdates.DateFormatter('%b-%y')
dts = s.index.to_pydatetime()

fig = plt.figure(); ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(dts, s)
ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(months)
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(monthsFmt)

but it's not producing the right result:

Not right

How exactly do I need to modify it so that it shows up like the first but with the months ticks appear every month?

Figured out one solution, which is to stick months into the minor ticks and keep years as the major.

E.g.

years = mdates.YearLocator()
months = mdates.MonthLocator()
monthsFmt = mdates.DateFormatter('%b') 
yearsFmt = mdates.DateFormatter('

%Y')  # add some space for the year label
dts = s.index.to_pydatetime()

fig = plt.figure(); ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(dts, s)
ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(months)
ax.xaxis.set_minor_formatter(monthsFmt)
plt.setp(ax.xaxis.get_minorticklabels(), rotation=90)
ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(years)
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(yearsFmt)

Results in: enter image description here
