I just tried out using matplotlib without numpy and it actually works: -------------------------------------------------- $ ipython Python 3.4.3 (default, Jan 1 1970, 00:00:01) Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. IPython 3.2.1 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. ? -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features. %quickref -> Quick reference. help -> Python's own help system. object? -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details. In [1]: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt In [2]: t = range(5) In [3]: plt.plot(t, t) Out[3]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x7f17b930ccf8>] In [4]: plt.show() -------------------------------------------------- Therefore, despite numpy being the standard data crunching base format, I don't think we need to propagate it.
