Getting matplotlib to work (specifically pyplot)

Anybody using pyplot? When I try to plot, get the error: "QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme!" It plots using just the matplotlib.pyplot.plot() command, but add axes, titles, etc, and it does not plot at all. 

Also why is matplotlib installing python3??? How does python2-matplotlib need py3x as a dependency given that it is not directly supported by it?

EDIT: Perhaps I should add that I used

 pacman -Sy python2-matplotlib 

when perhaps I should not have (as directed by the pacman wiki).   

Thanks.

sip needs python

python2-matplotlib -> python2-qt (python2-pyqt) -> python2-sip -> sip -> python
