This means that pip can't find matching wheels. You would see this error
message at the end if you didn't have a network connection. Assuming pip
can reach pypi then it thinks that none of these wheels is suitable:

https://pypi.org/project/matplotlib/#files

There seem to be wheels for 3.13 on Windows for amd64 and arm64.

Is it possible that you are on a 32 bit machine or using a 32 bit build of
python?
