[New-bugs-announce] [issue41917] Python 3.9rc2 fails to install matplotlib

[ullix]

New submission from ullix <ullix at urkam.de>:

Installing matplotlib via: python3 -m pip install -U matplotlib
fails because kiwisolver cannot be installed. Among a lot of error output is: WARNING: The wheel package is not available.

Not having matplotlib is a MAJOR hurdle for many!


Sstem: Ubuntu 16.04 with Python 3.9rc2 installed from deadsnakes repository (http://ppa.launchpad.net/deadsnakes/ppa/ubuntu/)
