I recently had to rebuild a server and find that pip 18.1 is apparently unable to install at least some older packages eg > $ bin/pip install fcrypt > Collecting fcrypt > Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement fcrypt (from versions: ) > No matching distribution found for fcrypt the version I needed is in fact the last released 1.3.1 (in 2004) and it was installed by an earlier pip. I tried being more explicit > $ bin/pip install fcrypt==1.3.1 > Collecting fcrypt==1.3.1 > Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement fcrypt==1.3.1 (from versions: ) > No matching distribution found for fcrypt==1.3.1 I assume that latest pip needs information from the package / pypi data that is not available. Luckily installing from a pypi download works. Is there any legacy mode in pip? It seems wrong to cause these older packages to become unusable. -- Robin Becker -- Distutils-SIG mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mm3/mailman3/lists/distutils-sig.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/FT6JKV352GJTTYLHFNBTDCKYP77BHZH7/
