Building version `>= 0.36.0` conda package for windows with python 3.11

[hovavalon]

Hello, I am working on the development of features for the scipy library on a windows 11 machine and a conda environment. I have recently tried to upgrade my python version from 3.10 to 3.11, and now I can't install doit>=0.36.0.

>conda install -d "doit>=0.36.0"
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: unsuccessful initial attempt using frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you're
looking for, navigate to

and use the search bar at the top of the page.

Am I missing anything here? Should I try to install the package in another way? If there is anything I can do in order to help solve this issue I would be happy to.

@hovavalon conda-forge is indeed recommended for SciPy development (or any package really), and the environment.yaml in the root of the SciPy repo will use that automatically for you. If you do want an up-to-date doit version in the defaults channel, then the request for that to the Anaconda team can be made at https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/.
