Pyplot in Jupyter inside pyenv on El Capitan

With the new root protection feature in El Capitan, it’s hard to install pip packages into the system python. Besides, it’s generally considered bad practice to clutter up your system python’s library with packages. Most developers prefer to set up their own virtualenv for python and then install packages into that local environment. I did the same for setting up Jupyter Notebook and everything worked as expected. Well, mostly everything.
