Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    pip install somepackage==1.2.3
  2. 85% success 
    pip install somepackage==999.0.0 --index-url https://private-pypi.example.com/simple

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 95% fail

    Package version unavailability is not a pip version issue; downgrading may break other functionality.

  2. 100% fail

    Random URLs do not contain the package; pip will still fail.
