Putting text in top left corner of matplotlib plot

How can I put text in the top left (or top right) corner of a matplotlib figure, e.g. where a top left legend would be, or on top of the plot but in the top left corner? E.g. if it"s a plt.scatter(), then something that would be within the square of the scatter, put in the top left most corner.

I"d like to do this without ideally knowing the scale of the scatterplot being plotted for example, since it will change from dataset to data set. I just want it the text to be roughly in the upper left, or roughly in the upper right. With legend type positioning it should not overlap with any scatter plot points anyway.

thanks!
