I see in setup.py that the matplotlib dependency is fixed at v2. Why is this? Why not also newer versions?

Good question, I don't remember. I removed the version requirement in e286bca

I remembered now, python2 installation fails if we don't fix the matplotlib dependency. If you install a newer version with python3 LIME still works though.

Better to drop python 2 https://python3statement.org/

I think the fix on f7f63fb solve this particular issue.
It would definitely be easier to drop python 2, but I don't think I'm ready to do it yet. Maybe in 2020 : )

All of the other major machine learning libraries are already doing it for future feature releases, e.g. sklearn 0.21 and pandas 0.25 will only support Python 3.5 or newer.
