[Matplotlib-users] Installation issue

[Paul Hobson]

What I believe Ben means is that since the matplotlib development team
doesn't maintain those scripts, this list isn't the best place for your
question (as odd as that may seem). My recommendation would be to the look
through the open issues at the matplitlib-winbuild repository and check if
someone having a similar issue has figured out a solution. If not, you
could create a new issue at the repository explaining your predicament.
