Matplotlib and setuptools

Hello,

I have developed a package that uses matplotlib.

To simplify installation and distribution I have used the setup tools package.

This is an excerpt from my setup.py:

    install_requires = ['biopython>=1.51', 'scipy>=0.7', 'numpy>=1.3.0', 'matplotlib>=0.99.0']

However it fails on matplolib with the following reason:

Searching for matplotlib==0.99.0
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/matplotlib/
Reading http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net
Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706

Reading https://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-0.99.1/
No local packages or download links found for matplotlib==0.99.0
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('matplotlib==0.99.0')

I have also tried 0.99.1 but it also fails.

Does anyone have any ideas?
