Summary
Following the instructions on the dev setup page fails due to these missing dependencies:
$ python -m pip install --verbose --no-build-isolation --editable ".[dev]"
Using pip 24.0 from /home/user/dev/matplotlib/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pip (python 3.12)

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mesonpy'
It seems like the CI tasks need to manually install them as well:
matplotlib/azure-pipelines.yml
Line 138 in a4243d9
and once they are manually installed locally using python -m pip install meson-python numpy pybind11 setuptools-scm, the build succeeds:
$ python -m pip install --verbose --no-build-isolation --editable ".[dev]"

Proposed fix
Update the requirements files to include these dependencies. Update the pipelines to only use the requirements files and not manual pip calls.
