pip install fails to find a version to install

[lixxu]

Py version should not be specified as it's available for py2&3.
It causes below pip install error:

$ pip install path.py
Collecting path.py
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement path.py (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for path.py

[jaraco]

Are you sure that's the reason? Shouldn't pip find the sdist if the wheel isn't suitable? I suspect the issue is that the package name is no longer valid.

[jaraco]

It's not an issue with the package name either. I'm unable to replicate the issue.

$ python2.7 -m pip --version
pip 8.1.2 from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)
$ python2.7 -m pip install -vvv --user --no-cache path.py

Can you run the command with -vvv and see if that reveals the underlying failure?

Sorry, you're right. It's not a true issue. It's because my pypi mirror issue.
aliyun can only use http://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple/path.py to find the package while official pypi can use both. Maybe it's the mirror sync issue.

λ pip install -vvv --user --no-cache path.py

See pypa/pip#3672 and pypa/pip#3666 for more details. Short term workaround is to downgrade to pip 8.1.1.

Thanks, I switched to https://pypi.doubanio.com/simple/ that solved the problem. :)

I am getting the same error while installing with pip command...

(dchawla-env) D:\School Project v2\ws-py-dchawla\my-class-api>pip install pip install django Requirement already satisfied: pip in d:\schoolvirtualev\dchawla-env\lib\site-packages Collecting install Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement install (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for install

I am using windows 7 and IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1 x64...

Hi @Deepakchawla. Your issue is you typed 'pip install' twice, so pip tried to install "pip", "install", and then Django, but failed to find "install".

This package where you've reported the issue is path.py and is unrelated. You may want to start with sites like StackOverflow for questions as you familiarize yourself with Python. Good luck!

Me presentaba el mismo problema al tratar de instalar Django en Windows.

La solución fue, abrir la Consola como Administrador. Y eso me funcionó.

Saludos.
