pythonlibtorrent

pip install python-libtorrent==1.1.0 fails on linux


Title is self explanatory. I get the following error in linux and python2.7:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-libtorrent (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for python-libtorrent

I can see it listed on pypi:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-libtorrent/

so, why would it not install?

Thanks!


Solution

  • The package in question, and its version, has been registered to PyPI. However there is no downloadable distribution file at all. Either the author/maintainer forgot to upload it (or them), or it was later removed.

    If a distribution was uploaded, it should show up on the 1.1.0 release page; there should be a table that lists all distribution files, their formats, Python version, upload date and the size of that individual file. Compare with say (just a random linked package) PyTorrent-0.1.1 that has an .egg binary distribution file PyTorrent-0.1.1-py2.5.egg in there.
