Installation Failure using pixi

[jeremy886]

Environment:

I am trying this new package management tool pixi: https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi

I tried pygame-ce first and no luck. Then I tried pygame and it worked.

% pixi add pygame-ce
  × could not determine any available versions for pygame-ce on osx-arm64. Either the package could not be found or version
  │ constraints on other dependencies result in a conflict.
  ╰─▶ Cannot solve the request because of: No candidates were found for pygame-ce *.

% pixi add pygame   
✔ Added pygame

Other environment details, not included in print_debug_info(), that might help:

• Relevant hardware (e.g. if reporting a bug about a controller, tell us the brand & name of it):

MacBook Pro M3 14.3.1

Current behavior:

pygame-ce is not available.

Expected behavior:

just like pygame that can be installed.

Hello, as far as I can tell pixi is a conda based package manager, and pygame-ce isn't on conda.

However, from the pixi repo:

This project is currently in the alpha stage. It's actively under development, and we're planning to add many more features. The file formats are still subject to change, and you should expect breaking changes as we work towards a v1.0. Some notable features we have in the pipeline are:

• Build and publish your project as a Conda package.
• Support for PyPi packages.
• Support for dependencies from source.
• Improvements to documentation, examples, and user experience.

I believe your issue will be resolved when pixi adds support for PyPI packages, as pygame-ce is available as a PyPI package.
