Downloading Previous Versions of OpenQuake-Engine from PyPI

[stu-orchard]

openquake-engine==3.10.0 downloaded from PyPI failed to install with the error shown in the snip below. Running on Windows 10 Have tried installing with 32 bit and 64 bit Python, errors with both. Also fails with other versions prior to 3.14.0 but 3.14.0 installs without error. Believe it is an issue with the Shapely library. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

This kind of issues should be asked on the mailing list https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/openquake-users, not on github which is for bugs in the code. Having said that, when installing old versions of the engine one has to be careful to use old versions of the underlying libraries. The easier thing is to use the docker images, if possible.
