I am using PyPlot to make a plot with subplots of different sizes.

```julia

using PyPlot

fig=figure(constrained_layout=false, figsize=(5, 4))
heights = [1, 2]
spec = fig.add_gridspec(ncols=1, nrows=2, height_ratios=heights, hspace=0.0)

fig.add_subplot(spec[1,1])

```

Then I got the following warning:

```julia
Warning: `getindex(o::PyObject, i1::Integer, i2::Integer)` is deprecated, use `get(o, (i1 - 1, i2 - 1))` instead.

```

How should I add subplot with the specified specs to avoid the warning? Thanks in advance.

This response is 9 months late, but since I just hit the same problem I would like to post a solution for future readers.

If you replace **`spec[1,1]`** with **`get(spec,(0,0))`** you should get the correct object without the warnings. In general, replace **`spec[i1,i2]`** with **`get(spec,(i1-1,i2-1))`**. Notice the change from Julia 0-based indexing to Python 1-based indexing.
