PyPi shows matplotlib 1.0.0. However, when I install matplotlib via pip into a virtualenv, version 0.91.1 is installed.
- Why the difference in versions?
- Is there a way to pip install matplotlib 1.0.0?
Research
It appears that matplotlib's DOAP record on PyPi is pointing to the correct version. Below is the DOAP record for reference:

Installing from the PyPi mirror also installs version 0.91.1:
$ pip install -i http://d.pypi.python.org/simple matplotlib
