Hi, I'm using the service PythonAnywhere to host an small page.
My page was using an old python version and I tried to update, but it doesn't work and now everything is broken 😭.

I went to my virtual environment, and in a bash console run pip freeze > /tmp/requirements.txt, then I did rm -rf ~/.cache/.
Then run mkvirtualenv --python=python3.10 py310 and finally pip install -r /tmp/requirements.txt inside the enviroment.

And then I got the following error:

Collecting astropy==4.3.1 (from -r /tmp/requirements.txt (line 18))
  Downloading astropy-4.3.1.tar.gz (7.6 MB)
     ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 7.6/7.6 MB 29.9 MB/s eta 0:00:00

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
× Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.

I'm not sure how to fix this. Any idea?

I tried with python -m pip install -U setuptools but did not fix it.
I also tried updating pip but that is not an option since one of my dependencies has a metadata which only works in pip < 24.1, So I have pip == 24.0.

  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.
