Root Cause

The requested package version declares Requires-Python >=3.11 in its metadata, but the running interpreter is older (e.g. 3.9), so pip filters it out and reports no matching distribution.

generic

中文

请求的包版本在其元数据中声明 Requires-Python >=3.11，但正在运行的解释器版本较旧（例如 3.9），因此 pip 将其过滤掉并报告未找到匹配的分发版本。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    python --version
pip install 'somepkg<5'
  2. 90% success 
    # using pyenv
pyenv install 3.11.9
pyenv local 3.11.9
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install somepkg

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 85% fail

    --pre only enables pre-release versions; the Requires-Python filter still applies.

  2. 95% fail

    pip has no --ignore-requires-python flag; the option is unrecognized and the command errors out.
