Bug summary
I want to change the horizontal alignment of the tick labels on my y-axis. This page explains a method (the one-liner on the top of the page), which does not work.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import matplotlib as mpl
print("Matplitlib version: %s" % mpl.__version__)
x = np.logspace(-2,3)
y = 1 / (exp(1/x) - 1)
fig = plt.figure(1, figsize=(4, 4))
plt.loglog(x,y)
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.ylabel('y')
plt.tight_layout()
ax = plt.gca()
ax.yaxis.set_tick_params(horizontalalignment='left')The code above is slightly longer than minimum, to motivate why I need to change the tick label alignment. The changing size of the exponent looks ugly when the labels are right-aligned.
Actual outcome
Matplitlib version: 3.0.2
Traceback (most recent call last):

Expected outcome
I expect the alignment of the y-axis tick labels to change.
