Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    Installs untested code that may fail due to removed stdlib APIs or C-extension ABI changes.

  2. 90% fail

    requires-python enforcement predates most pip versions.

  3. 85% fail

    Bypasses the maintainer's compatibility guarantee and is overwritten on upgrade.
