pip install matplotlib broken due to kiwisolver update

[sampathweb]

Bug report

pip install matplotlib fails today on kiwisolver error on Mac. Something broke on kiwisolver update that was pushed recently (https://pypi.org/project/kiwisolver/#history). Related issue - nucleic/kiwi#66

Code for reproduction

conda create -n kiwi-bug python-3.6
conda activate kiwi-bug . # or source activate kiwi-bug
pip install matplotlib

Actual outcome

Closing as this looks like there was a missing wheel (as they said over on nucleic/kiwi#66).

@sampathweb can you confirm that this is working now?

Duplicate of #14031
Should have been fixed by the wheels being pushed up to PyPI

[sampathweb]

Yes..Thanks for your quick response. It's all resolved now.

Even if you get the latest wheel in pypi, the install would still hault at kiwisolver. I have been working on this for more than a day, and my angel coached me :)

What we did, install kiwisolver 1st, then install matplotlib ---and voila! Installed smoothly!

Thanks to the unseen angel coaches! ;)

pip install wheel
pip install kiwisolver
pip install matplotlip

Did not work for me. Seems to want me to have some Microsoft C++ build tools.
