Root Cause

The package's metadata specifies a Python version range incompatible with the current interpreter.

generic

中文

包的元数据指定的 Python 版本范围与当前解释器不兼容。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    python3.10 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install example-pkg
  2. 85% success 
    pip install 'example-pkg<2.0' --python-version 3.9

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    Bypasses the check but often leads to runtime errors or import failures due to missing features/syntax.

  2. 90% fail

    Pip version doesn't affect the package's declared requirement; the incompatibility remains.

  3. 80% fail

    Violates package integrity; pip may still validate against the original metadata from the index.
