[Matplotlib-users] 3.0.3: error: Failed to download jquery-ui

[Thomas Caswell]

Gabriele,

This is directly related to Matplotlib as we changed how jquery is bundled
/ installed in 3.0.3 and 2.2.4.

How are you installing Matplotlib / downloading the source?  The place
where that error message is suggesting you unpack the files is not correct.

Tom
