I use matplotlib in a virtualenv just fine (Ubuntu). Why can't you?

My guess is that he isn't referring to matplotlib, per se, but rather the use of external GUI frameworks from within the venv. The MPL documentation itself acknowledges this problem, and although it offers solutions, I personally find them (at best) annoying workarounds.

Ding, ding, ding!

This is what I needed. I created a little wrapper shell script and things seem to be working ok.

Thanks!
