If I try and install Matplotlib 0c6f12a, pyparsing fails to install on Python 2:

Installed /Users/tom/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/matplotlib-1.3.x-py2.7-macosx-10.6-x86_64.egg
Processing dependencies for matplotlib==1.3.x

Best match: pyparsing 2.0.0

Adding pyparsing 1.5.3 to easy-install.pth file

Installed /Users/tom/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/pyparsing-1.5.3-py2.7.egg
error: Could not find required distribution pyparsing>=1.5.6

this is because pyparsing 2.0.0 is not Python 2-compatible. The fix in my case is to install pyparsing manually:

pip-2.7 install pyparsing==1.5.6 --upgrade --user

but this should really work out of the box.

Hmm. Sounds like a problem with pip to me. Should running pip with python2 really try installing a python3 only package?

but this should really work out of the box.

Agreed. pip problem or no - we're still going to have to deal with it in the short term.

I've suggested a fix in #1794.
