Root Cause

The packaging library version is too old to support the compatible release operator '~='.

generic

中文

packaging 库版本太旧，不支持兼容发布运算符 '~='。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Upgrade the packaging library 
    Run: pip install --upgrade packaging
  2. 90% success Use a different specifier like '>=1.0.0,<2.0.0' instead of '~=1.0.0' 
    Replace '~=1.0.0' with '>=1.0.0,<2.0.0' in requirements.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Using '==' instead of '~=' 50% fail

    Changes the semantic meaning of the requirement, possibly missing compatible updates.

  2. Ignoring the error and proceeding 90% fail

    The specifier will not be parsed correctly, leading to runtime errors.
