Installation issue with debian12 bookworm

[rolfeisenhut]

Installation of python module is rejected, because package not found.

pip install influxdb-client fails with message to use

sudo apt install python3-influxdb-client

but htis module is not listed in the package store, so installation is rejected.

Is there a nearby solution for this issue?

regards Rolf

If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make

you're trying to install python3-influxdb-client which does not exists.

Also when using the system pip command you're trying to install influxdb-client with the system python which is probably still python2 or python < 3.7.

The command line is trying to help you, saying

Have you tried creating a virtualenv with a python version supported by influxdb-client package ?

You have to install client via: pip install influxdb-client.
