PyPlot reverse y-axis and logarithmic

Question

Is there a way to traverse the y-axis with PyPlot

and make it logarithmic? I know one of two options can be done with

plt.gca().invert_yaxis()

and

plt.yscale('log')

However, the combination doesn't work. Any ideas? Many thanks!

The best way to do it is to simply use it in the following order:

plt.scatter(x, y)
plt.yscale('log')
plt.gca().invert_yaxis()
plt.show()
