Unable to install with pip or pipx

pip output:

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

I have this problem of using dashes (or not) arbitrarily. It's pip install shell-history (like the repo slug, with a dash!).

Edit: I'm not sure what I did anymore. Let me check asap (not at home).

Well, I really don't understand what's going on. It should be registered as shellhistory on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/shellhistory/#files

Yet I'm unable to install it on my current device, but able to on another.

Will investigate thoroughly tomorrow.

Hahahaha. It was quite simple actually. As stated in the README, you need Python 3.6 or higher. I guess the error message from pip could be more helpful.

Please confirm it was the issue :wink:

Well well well this is very interesting.

Here's my output of python -V:

Python 3.7.3

And lemme try again with sudo python -m pip install shellhistory:

Collecting shellhistory
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement shellhistory (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for shellhistory

What?

[pawamoy]

What about sudo python -V?

[pawamoy]

Well no you're right, it's not available for Python 3.7. It must be a mistake in pyproject.toml.

[pawamoy]

Yep: python = "~3.6"

It should be ^3.6, my bad! Sorry it took so long to figure out ^^' I thought I already fixed that (coming from a template of mine, had the same issue in another project).

Thank you for helping!

Fixed in 07f305d. Just tried to install it in a fresh Python 3.7 virtualenv, it worked 🙂

Great, it's working now! Thanks!
