I'm not exactly sure what you mean by overkill... yes matplotlib has a lot
of capability.  But that doesn't mean it's hard to use or get started with
for simple xy plots:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = range(6)
plt.plot(x, [xi**2 for xi in x])  # x and y, plots y=x^2 for six points
plt.savefig('plot.png')  # plt.show() will show instead of save

I don't think you can get much simpler that that.
