Did a try to setup matplotlib for PyPy in Docker container with Ubuntu 14.04 to run Multi Mechanize load test tool.

Good news: NumPy can be easily installed for PyPy.

Bad news: matplotlib failed to install most likely due lack of NumPy's C-API.

If anyone have workaround for building matplotlib for PyPy I would happy to get your suggestions.

I'm running into this as well.
