How to adjust the distance between y-axis label in python

I have a code to make a chart following below:

%pylab inline
import numpy as np
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties
matplotlib.use('TkAgg')
plt.style.use('ggplot')
dataframe.T.plot(kind='barh', stacked=True)
plt.xticks(np.arange(0, 1.1, 0.1), [str(x) for x in np.arange(0, 1.1, 0.1)])
plt.xlim([0, 1])
plt.xlabel("Pecentage of Interets")
plt.ylabel("Users")
plt.legend(loc=9, bbox_to_anchor=(0.5, -0.2), ncol=7)
plt.savefig('personint.jpg', format='eps', dpi=1000, bbox_inches='tight')

the results of my code is like this:

enter image description here

In here, I want to ask how I can adjust the distance between y-axis label in my code, such as space between USER1 and USER2, because the distance for each user in my chart is close to each other.

You will need to add more vertical space to the figure, so try changing the figure size at the beginning of your code with:

plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = (8, 10)

The vertical space can also change dynamically with the number of y-axis labels.

# labels = ["USER1", "USER2", ...]
plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = (8, 6 * len(labels) / 10)

Just change the division denominator to adjust the amount of space you want to give.
