Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement windows-curses

[singularitti]

When I am trying to install PipTUI with

pipx install PipTUI

It throws out errors:

  ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement windows-curses (from PipTUI) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for windows-curses (from PipTUI)
'/Users/qz/.local/pipx/venvs/PipTUI/bin/python -m pip install PipTUI -q' failed

It seems to be a dependency-resolution problem.
I am using pipx==0.13.0.1 with Python 3.7.4 on macOS 10.14.5.

Strange. Does it work with normal pip? The module it's in the pypi repository but if pipx uses a custom repository there's nothing I can do about it.

https://pypi.org/project/windows-curses/

Oh, wait, I didn't read the MacOS line. It shouldn't add it to the requirements list. Let me check

@singularitti It's fixed but before uploading it on pypi I want to know one thing.

I never used MacOS and since the script launches pip commands when a specific action is done (Installing, Uninstalling, etc) might not work with pipx.

Pipx is the only way to install python packages or there's also a pip on MacOS?

Hi @nitanmarcel. There should be a pip on every system that Python supports. I should have explained, pipx is definitely not the only way to install a Python package on macOS. In fact, it is only used to install Python packages which provide executables, e.g., pylint, autopep8, glances, etc. See the doc here if you are interested. Because the PipTUI seems to be an executable, so I first install it with pipx. pipx creates virtualenv and install the executables to a certain place so that they could not be installed in my system directory. Here is how it works (I recommend it, really).

Fixed in 0e8b64e

Because you're using pipx the app could not work if pip is not installed. A workaround for this would be setting up pip as an alias for pipx.

Thanks!

Oh, so you're good to go :) I'll reopen the issue for a few hours if you have another problems :)

I will try to install and report any problem that I meet.
