Root Cause

The package's setup.py failed during metadata generation, often due to missing build dependencies, incompatible Python version, or a broken package.

generic

中文

包的 setup.py 在元数据生成期间失败，通常由于缺少构建依赖、Python 版本不兼容或包损坏。

Workarounds

  1. 85% success 
    Install build dependencies first: `pip install wheel setuptools cython numpy` then retry.
  2. 80% success 
    Check the full error log above the summary; often a missing C library. Install system packages (e.g., `apt-get install libpq-dev`).

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    Upgrading pip does not resolve missing build dependencies or package bugs.

  2. 60% fail

    May fail because build deps are missing in the current environment.
