Root Cause

The modern pip resolver cannot find any version set satisfying all pinned constraints, often due to over-pinned requirements or transitive version pins that contradict each other.

中文

现代 pip 解析器找不到满足所有固定约束的版本集合,通常由于 requirements 过度固定或传递依赖的版本固定相互矛盾。

Workarounds

  1. 80% success
    Relax pins to ranges (`foo>=1.0,<2`) and re-resolve; use `pip install -r requirements.txt --dry-run` to preview.
  2. 90% success
    Use a resolver-aware tool: `pip-compile requirements.in` or `uv pip compile` to compute a consistent lockfile.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 60% fail

    Installs incompatible versions and only defers the failure to runtime.

  2. 50% fail

    May break reproducibility and still conflict transitively.
