It used to take about 6 months after x.y was released before most major
packages were available for x.y. I hope they come faster now.
For Windows, a few hundred unofficial whls, for both win32 and amd64,
including for matplotlib, are available for (2.7?, 3.4-) 3.7 from
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/, and have been for some
number of months.
