Locking to an exact version means that pip cannot cleverly figure out which ones are compatible with your current system. A far, far, far better idea:

pip install "meson>=0.58,<=0.62.*"

This pins an allowable minimum/maximum range, which supports reasonably new Meson on systems with modern Python, while also handling archaic systems such as Ubuntu 18.04.

That being said, I'm probably duty-bound to say I'm not a fan of pinning versions... you'll need to babysit this to make sure it gets upgraded regularly, and I don't think tools such as dependabot or renovatebot (https://mend.io) can detect version pins as arbitrary lines in a Makefile.
