Root Cause

Two or more packages require incompatible versions of a shared dependency, leading to a resolution conflict.

generic

中文

两个或多个包需要不兼容版本的共享依赖，导致解析冲突。

Workarounds

  1. 70% success Let pip automatically find a compatible set. 
    pip install packageA packageB --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager
  2. 90% success Isolate conflicting packages in separate environments. 
    python -m venv env1 && source env1/bin/activate && pip install packageA

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Using pip install --ignore-dependencies packageA packageB 80% fail

    Ignores all dependency checks, often leading to runtime import errors.

  2. Using pip install --no-deps packageA packageB 85% fail

    Installs packages without their dependencies, causing missing modules.
