Root Cause

The package's setup.py/pyproject.toml raises during metadata generation, often due to missing build deps or incompatible setuptools.

generic

中文

包的 setup.py/pyproject.toml 在生成元数据时抛出异常，通常由于缺少构建依赖或不兼容的 setuptools。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    pip install -vvv foo
  2. 85% success 
    pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
pip install foo

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 80% fail

    Cache is not the root cause; metadata generation still fails.

  2. 70% fail

    Pre-release may have the same broken metadata.
