Matplotlib force scientific notation and define exponent

        self.format = self.fformat
        if self._useMathText:

x = np.linspace(1,9,9)
y1 = x*10**(-4)
y2 = x*10**(-3)

fig, ax = plt.subplots(2,1,sharex=True)

ax[0].plot(x,y1)
ax[1].plot(x,y2)

for axe in ax:
    axe.yaxis.set_major_formatter(OOMFormatter(-4, "%1.1f"))
    axe.ticklabel_format(axis='y', style='sci', scilimits=(-4,-4))

plt.show()
