Details
Description:
matplotlib can be used with various output backends; the PKGBUILD itself mentions GTK, TK and WX as optionals, and this is correct. However, it lists python2-qt as a proper dep, while it actually successfully builds and runs without it (minus ipython -pylab, which is not a core feature IMHO). I think all the outputs should be optionalized. This is not merely nitpicking. I use it on a pretty constrained system that doesn't have QT at all, because there is no room for it. Additional info: * package version(s) python2-matplotlib 1.0.1-1 python2 2.7.1-6 |

As you mentioned, there are several possible backend. We need to
have one as a default unless displaying graphics in a windows does
not work "out of the box". Qt4 has been choosed for that.
