pip 使用 requirements.txt 安装时拒绝二进制文件

Question

Why does Python pip reject binaries when installing package from requirements.txt ?
I am not using --no-binary , and I could not find any mention that this could be the default. It definitely is not when installing without requirements.txt .

When I install django-silk package in this way, it succeeds:

pip install -v django-silk==4.1.0

But when django-silk==4.1.0 is in my requirements.txt , and I run this exact command line:

pip install -v -r requirements-prod.txt

I get the following log:

(...)
  Skipping link: No binaries permitted for django-silk: (...)
  Found link (...) version: 3.0.4
  Skipping link: No binaries permitted for django-silk: (...)
  Found link  (...) version: 4.0.0

Given no hashes to check 0 links for project 'django-silk': discarding no candidates
(...)
pip._internal.exceptions.DistributionNotFound: No matching distribution found for django-silk==4.1.0

Why does pip decide that No binaries permitted for django-silk ?

Update: It seems that the issue is not with requirements.txt file itself, but in the fact that requirements.txt also contains another package:

PyYAML --global-option="--with-libyaml" ; sys_platform != 'win32'
django-silk==4.1.0

So apparently the fact that PyYAML must be installed from source makes pip ignore binary packages for django-silk as well. Why does that happen?

Note: I am using Python 3.7.5 and pip 21.0.1 .

Answer 1

So it turns out this is caused by a bug in pip :
"--global-option for a specific requirement in requirements file disables use of wheels globally"
