Hi Guix,
“python-pyqt” depends on all of Qt. “python-pyqt” is also an input to
“python-matplotlib” because that package has a Qt rendering backend.
I wonder if we can make this lighter by default. The scientific Python
stack depends on “python-matplotlib”, but it seems like a very expensive
dependency as it pulls in *all* of Qt *and* Gtk+.
Is it feasible to split up “python-pyqt”? If not, can we reasonably
decouple matplotlib from pyqt?
