Thank you for the social card previews (#88), they look really good!

(I would like to generate them for the CPython docs (https://docs.python.org/), but need to check some things first, e.g. how it works with translations, how to omit them from archives/non-web builds, check our deploy process works with ~500 images and 41 MB.)

We're already using this extension for OG metadata and it's working well.

Unfortunately, the new Matplotlib dependency broke our CI yesterday because we run doctests against the CPython 3.12 development branch, and unsurprisingly the NumPy dependency isn't yet compatible (for example: numpy.txt, which begins with RuntimeWarning: NumPy 1.24.2 may not yet support Python 3.12).

So in the meantime we have to pin to the earlier 0.7.5 release (python/cpython#101642).

Would it be possible to have Matplotlib installable as an optional extra? Even when using Python < 3.12, it's a pretty heavy dependency to install if you don't need it.

Thanks again!
