Unable to install package registered on pypi

[Martmists-GH]

Environment

• pip version: 1.8
• Python version: 3.7
• OS: Arch Linux (fully up to date)

Description
Similarly to #4888, the package (tensorflow) is indeed on pypi, but I am unable to install it:

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

I have tried the curl -X PURGE suggestion but it did not fix the issue.

This is because you're using Python 3.7, and there are no wheels available for that version (and no source distributions either): https://pypi.org/project/tensorflow/#files.

[benoit-pierre]

I also would recommend against using sudo pip, especially considering the fact that you can already install the latest tensorflow stable release from community: sudo pacman --sync -- python-tensorflow.

[Martmists-GH]

Odd, previously pip would try to build it manually and fail if it wasn't compatible. Is this no longer a thing?

[benoit-pierre]

It does look like they never provided a source distribution.

[pradyunsg]

My suggestion would be to directly contact the tensorflow project, since this is specific to how they manage their project's release artifacts.

• no Python 3.7 wheel
• lack of source distributions

[Martmists-GH]

Trying to install on 3.6.6 also fails while there is a wheel for cp36.

[benoit-pierre]

Please provide the exact command line, and the output of said command run with -v. Also please make sure you don't have no-manylinux1 installed. You still have not explained why you're not just using the distribution package.

[Martmists-GH]

log

The reason I'm not using a distribution package is because there is none on this device.

[benoit-pierre]

So it's not the same environment as for the original bug report?

[benoit-pierre]

From the log, it looks like Android? It would have been better to open a new issue with the relevant information... (And you can probably close this issue). The manylinux wheel provided is for the x86_64 architecture, I'm assuming yours is an ARM variant, which is not compatible.

[xavfernandez]

pip seems to work as expected. If you need help installing tensoflow, I'd suggest you contact the tensorflow directly.
pip could however improve its output which is already tracked at #5003 so closing this issue.
Thanks for the report !
