Root Cause

The requirement specifier contains a malformed version operator with no version number, causing pip's requirement parser to fail.

generic

中文

需求说明符包含格式错误的版本操作符，没有版本号，导致 pip 的需求解析器失败。

Workarounds

  1. 99% success 
    Replace 'requests===' with a valid specifier, e.g. `pip install 'requests==2.31.0'` or `pip install requests`.
  2. 97% success 
    Use quotes: `pip install 'requests>=2,<3'` so the shell doesn't strip operators.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 95% fail

    Cache is unrelated to parsing the requirement string; the syntax error remains.

  2. 90% fail

    The parser is already correct; the user-supplied requirement string is invalid.
