Installation fails on Mac / Python 3.10

Describe the bug

Hi, I'm trying to install xcube in a conda environment on MacOS Sonoma 14.5 with Python 3.10 running.

To Reproduce

I run this command (from here):

mamba install --channel conda-forge xcube

That's the error message:

Looking for: ['xcube']

Problem: nothing provides _python_rc needed by python-3.12.0rc3-rc3_h30d4d87_1_cpython

Expected behavior

The installation works.

Hi @haesleinhuepf, this is strange as the build server succeeds on MacOS. Could you please try again?

Hi @forman ,

thanks for the feedback! I just tried with the command above and got the same error. It was a bit confusing because the error messag mentiones python 3.12.

Hence I tried again using this command in the base environment and it worked:

mamba create --name test python=3.10 xcube

I'm closing this issue. I presume this was an error related to my environment.

Thanks again!

Best, Robert
