Root Cause

No wheel or sdist matches your Python version, OS, or architecture. Common with native extensions.

Workarounds

  1. 92% success Check if the package supports your Python version and platform 
    python --version  # check your Python version
pip debug --verbose  # shows compatible tags
# Visit https://pypi.org/project/PACKAGE/#files to see available wheels

    Sources: https://pypi.org/

  2. 88% success Use a different Python version that the package supports 
    pyenv install 3.11.8
pyenv local 3.11.8
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install package-name

    Sources: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_install/

  3. 85% success Specify --platform and --python-version flags if building for a different target 
    pip download --platform manylinux2014_x86_64 \
  --python-version 3.11 \
  --only-binary=:all: \
  package-name

    Sources: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_download/

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Force install with --no-binary :all: 65% fail

    If no source distribution exists either, build will fail with missing C headers

  2. Upgrade pip to latest version 60% fail

    Rarely the issue — usually a platform or Python version mismatch
