Debug Output / Traceback

│ Error Message: ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement flatdict>=4.0.1 (from okta) (from versions: 1.1.3, 1.2.0, 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.2.0, 3.2.1, 3.3.0, 3.4.0)
│ ERROR: No matching distribution found for flatdict>=4.0.1

Expected Behavior

Installing the package, regardless of pip options, should result in a clean install.

Actual Behavior

Installing with pip install --no-binary :all: results in the above error. The flatdict library only distributes sdists, and so it cannot be installed when it is required to use pre-built packages. This means that installers, such as those that have to build for different architectures than their build environment, cannot install the package. An example is building an AWS Lambda function. You would normally do something like this to build the package:

pip3 install \
  --upgrade \
  --no-cache :all: \
  --no-cache-dir \
  --platform manylinux2014_x86_64 \
  --implementation cp \
  --target /lambda \
"okta>=3.0.0"

However, installing in this way is not possible. Installing without --no-cache :all: is not possible when --patform or --implementation are set. It's worth noting that the flatdict library hasn't seen an update in around 5 years and so is not likely to see any love.

Steps to reproduce

pip3 install \
  --upgrade \
  --no-cache :all: \
  --no-cache-dir \
  --platform manylinux2014_x86_64 \
  --implementation cp \
  --target /lambda \
"okta>=3.0.0"
