Root Cause

The package's pyproject.toml specifies build dependencies that are not present in the isolated build environment. pip attempts to install them but may fail due to network or resolver issues.

generic

中文

包的 pyproject.toml 指定了隔离构建环境中不存在的构建依赖。pip 尝试安装它们，但可能因网络或解析器问题而失败。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    pip install setuptools>=40.8.0 wheel cython  # then pip install package
  2. 85% success 
    pip install -r build-requirements.txt && pip install package --no-build-isolation

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 75% fail

    Requires the build dependencies to be already installed; if not, the error persists.

  2. 60% fail

    Other build dependencies may also be missing; installing only setuptools is incomplete.
