I cannot confirm this. I used
guix environment --container --ad-hoc python-2.7.10 python2-matplotlib --
python2
...
Python 2.7.10 (default, Jan 1 1970, 00:00:01)
[GCC 4.9.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

So, numpy still needs to be propagated in my opinion. I haven’t tried
‘python-matplotlib’ and ‘python’ yet, just ‘python2-matplotlib’ as
above. Does this make a difference?
