Plot major ticks on y-axis of loglog plot

I am trying to plot the major ticks on the y-axis of the loglog plot in matplotlib. The plot has ticks ($10^{0}, 10^{-5}, 10^{-10},...$) on the y-axis but I want to indicate the tick marks in between the intervals like for $10^{-1}, 10^{-2}, 10^{-3}, 10^{-4}$ without actual display of ticks.

locmin = matplotlib.ticker.LogLocator(base=10.0,subs=(0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8),numticks=5)
ax.yaxis.set_major_locator(locmin)

I expect the output to include the major tick marks for each of the values ($10^{-1}, 10^{-2},...$) in the y-axis but with ticks display of only the values with a span of $10^{-5}$.

You should maybe include an image of what what you have currently looks like. – Akaisteph7 Jul 06 '19 at 01:17
I have added the image. I would like to have the tick marks for the intermediate points between 2 major points on the y-axis. – math123 Jul 06 '19 at 16:40
You would need to use a minor locator for those ticks that you don't want to label. – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Jul 06 '19 at 16:42
@ImportanceOfBeingErnest Can you please be bit more explicit? I did try using minor locator but didn't work. – math123 Jul 08 '19 at 10:02
If the question contains an explicit [mcve] of what goes wrong, I can tell explicitely what you need to change, yes. – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Jul 08 '19 at 10:23
