Attempted to install adafruit-circuitpython-lc709203f on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 via Python 3.10 installed from Homebrew.

Ran pip install adafruit-circuitpython-lc709203f==2.2.1 which was copied from this page: https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-lc709203f/2.2.1/

Does anything different happen if you don't specify the version specifically?

pip install adafruit-circuitpython-lc709203f

I am not sure what could be causing the issue you see. I copy/pasted your install command and it worked successfully to install the library for me, but I am in different environment Pop_OS! Linux with Python 3.8.10.

[FoamyGuy]

This SO answer may be relevant, it appears to be discussing the same error message albeit with a different library: https://stackoverflow.com/a/68126941/507810

The StackOverflow answer correctly installed the module, although its version is marked as 0.0.0:

That does get things working for me, thank you! The rest of this comment is regarding the non-working command:

When omitting the version number, the behaviour is the same but it tries to download multiple versions in descending order:

Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate the super speedy response!

[FoamyGuy]

Try like this:

pip install adafruit-circuitpython-lc709203f==2.2.1 --no-cache-dir

In your pasted output it shows that it used a cached version instead of downloading from pip. Someone in our discord was able to successfully install it on a Mac with Python 3.10 so I think maybe there is just something weird with the cached version you have for some reason.

Edit: I hadn't seen your latest post before I submitted this comment.

[FoamyGuy]

Nice, glad you were able to get it installed.
