Root Cause

The specified version constraint does not match any available release on PyPI or the configured index.

中文

指定的版本约束与 PyPI 或配置的索引上的任何可用版本不匹配。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Check available versions and use a valid one 
    `pip index versions somepackage` then install a valid version, e.g., `pip install somepackage==1.0`
  2. 90% success Use a version range or no version constraint 
    `pip install somepackage>=1.0` or simply `pip install somepackage`

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Assuming the package name is correct but using a typo in version 50% fail

    The version string is exact; even a minor typo (e.g., 999.0.0 vs 999.0) will fail.

  2. Running `pip install --upgrade` without specifying the correct version 80% fail

    If the package is not installed, --upgrade has no effect; also, it won't fix an invalid version constraint.
