python-3.xsmtpd

can't install pip module smtpd-tls


I am trying to set up a debugging server for testing email logging and I encountered an issue with smtpd module. It was not installed and I can not pip install with with cli or add the package in Pycharm ui. From my understanding of the error it thinks my python version is less than 2.7 but I have confirmed that for this venv I am in 3.7.0. I cannot view the install log because it is a temp file and whe I go to that directory there is no such file.

Any ideas?enter image description here


Solution

  • This is a known bug in smtpd-tls. Unless you can get the author to update the package, you cannot install smtpd-tls in Python 3.
