Description:

If I do not have 'python-sip' installed, I receive the following error when importing 'matplotlib.pyplot' in Python [see importerror.txt attached].

A list of Python (3) packages I have installed (all updated to the lastest stable version on pacman) is also attached.

Steps to reproduce:
- Install 'python' and 'python-matplotlib'
- Do not have 'python-sip' installed (this is not a dependency of 'python-matplotlib', rather 'python-sip-pyqt5')
   importerror.txt (1.8 KiB)
   pypackages.txt (0.8 KiB)
This task depends upon

Just a remark, a brief discussion about this issue is circulating at the bottom of this GitHub issue (starting with https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/7958/#issuecomment-405073592), which began 10 days ago.

My current workaround is to have python-sip installed (since it is not added as a dependency/by default by python-matplotlib)
