Root Cause

The package's python_requires metadata excludes the current Python version.

generic

中文

包的 python_requires 元数据排除了当前 Python 版本。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Use a compatible Python version via pyenv or conda 
    pyenv install 3.10 && pyenv local 3.10
  2. 80% success Find an older version of the package that supports your Python 
    pip install 'foo<2.0'

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

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

    May cause runtime errors due to incompatible APIs.

  2. Downgrading pip 20% fail

    Pip version doesn't change Python version.
