Root Cause

The package explicitly requires a Python version that is not satisfied by the current interpreter.

包明确要求当前解释器不满足的 Python 版本。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Upgrade Python to a compatible version 
    Install Python 3.9 or higher and create a new virtual environment.
  2. 80% success Find an older version of the package that supports your Python 
    Run: pip install 'mypackage<2.0' (if older versions support Python 3.8).

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Forcing installation with --ignore-requires-python 70% fail

    May lead to runtime errors due to incompatible Python features.

  2. Using a virtual environment with the same Python version 90% fail

    The environment still has the same incompatible version.
