How do I draw a grid onto a plot in Python?

Question

I just finished writing code to make a plot using pylab in Python and now I would like to superimpose a grid of 10x10 onto the scatter plot. How do I do that?

Here is a small example how to add a matplotlib grid in Gtk3 with Python 2 (not working in Python 3):

#!/usr/bin/env python
#-*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk3agg import FigureCanvasGTK3Agg as FigureCanvas

win = Gtk.Window()
win.connect("delete-event", Gtk.main_quit)
win.set_title("Embedding in GTK3")

f = Figure(figsize=(1, 1), dpi=100)
ax = f.add_subplot(111)
ax.grid()

canvas = FigureCanvas(f)
canvas.set_size_request(400, 400)
win.add(canvas)

win.show_all()
Gtk.main()
