Support for matplotlib? ipython_directive?

[aldanor]

Hi there, I was wonder if there was any way to make IPython sphinx extensions work (ipython_directive, ipython_console_highlighting)?

I'm currently getting an ImportError on matplotlib (not using virtualenv):

Extension error:
Could not import extension ipython_directive (exception: No module named matplotlib)

Can't really figure out if #334 is still unresolved? I've seen "numpy/scipy/matplotlib are now supported" somewhere in RTD commits but it doesn't look like matplotlib is importable.

You may be able to fix this with the mocking of C libraries, but i'm not really sure: http://docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/faq.html#i-get-import-errors-on-libraries-that-depend-on-c-modules

No, this does not fix the problem, but just avoids building plots.
