pipenv: "Could not find a version that matches", but acceptable version listed

With pipenv lock, I get a message that I can’t decipher. It lists valid constraints, and then versions that fit within those constraints, and then says it couldn’t find a matching version. One thing that looks odd to me is that it duplicates the versions found:

$ pipenv lock --verbose
Could not find a version that matches eth-account<1.0.0,>=0.1.0a2
Tried: 0.1.0a1, 0.1.0a1, 0.1.0a2, 0.1.0a2

I’m brand new to pipenv, so apologies if I missed something straightforward.

There are a bunch of closed issues that might be related. Most of them said to expect it to be fixed in 11.8.0, but I have 11.8.3. Maybe this has to do with #1745?

Definitely thought I fixed this last night. Will have to inspect.

Expected result

An install without warnings.

Actual result

Got the warning about being unable to lock

@carver pipenv-resolver --clear <pkgname> is what generates useful output, In any event I was able to reproduce this earlier, but then I installed with --skip-lock and ran pipenv lock --pre --clear and everything was resolved. Seems like a caching issue with some of the dependencies

Can you double check and get back to us?

@carver that is likely because you are installing into a ‘dirty’ environment with dirty caches which contain the non-prerelease versions of packages where web3 requires the prerelease versions. You’ll need to have a fresh environment and clean caches for this.

Thanks for getting back with us and sorry for the annoyance, there might be a way to auto-detect this stuff in the future but for now your best bet might be to try pipenv clean && pipenv lock --clear && pipenv sync explicitly to clean the environment, clear caches and install.

I had installed Python 3.7.4 using pyenv and I don’t fully understand the reason but my Pipfile had this line in package list

[packages]
3-7-4 = "*"

Removing the 3-7-4 line fixed the issue for me.

tanujnotes on Sep 20, 2019

To echo @thetanuj I noticed that any package that pipenv install $PACKAGE fails, pipenv puts that $PACKAGE into the Pipenv file, which will in turn caused “ERROR: ERROR: Could not find a version that matches $PACKAGE”.

In my case, PACKAGE=google-cloud-python, and since I git revision controlled Pipfile I saw that line being added even though the installation failed. I removed the extra google-cloud-python = "*" line from Pipfile, I was able to get back to what it was (although I still need to find a way install google-cloud-python though.)
