Confusion Matrix with number of classified/misclassified instances on it (Python/Matplotlib)

I am plotting a confusion matrix with matplotlib with the following code:

from numpy import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from pylab import *

conf_arr = [[33,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,3], [3,31,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], [0,4,41,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1], [0,1,0,30,0,6,0,0,0,0,1], [0,0,0,0,38,10,0,0,0,0,0], [0,0,0,3,1,39,0,0,0,0,4], [0,2,2,0,4,1,31,0,0,0,2], [0,1,0,0,0,0,0,36,0,2,0], [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,5,37,5,1], [3,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,39,0], [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,38] ]

norm_conf = []
for i in conf_arr:
    a = 0
    tmp_arr = []
    a = sum(i,0)
    for j in i:
        tmp_arr.append(float(j)/float(a))
    norm_conf.append(tmp_arr)

plt.clf()
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
res = ax.imshow(array(norm_conf), cmap=cm.jet, interpolation='nearest')
cb = fig.colorbar(res)
savefig("confmat.png", format="png")

But I want to the confusion matrix to show the numbers on it like this graphic (the right one). How can I plot the conf_arr on the graphic?

You can use text to put arbitrary text in your plot. For example, inserting the following lines into your code will write the numbers (note the first and last lines are from your code to show you where to insert my lines):

res = ax.imshow(array(norm_conf), cmap=cm.jet, interpolation='nearest')
for i, cas in enumerate(conf_arr):
    for j, c in enumerate(cas):
        if c>0:
            plt.text(j-.2, i+.2, c, fontsize=14)
cb = fig.colorbar(res)
