I was trying to test the `pip install -e .` on [my library ultimate-utils](https://github.com/brando90/ultimate-utils) after changing laptops but I keep getting errors of this type:

```auto
(uutils_env) brandomiranda~/ultimate-utils ❯ pip install -e .                      
Obtaining file:///Users/brandomiranda/ultimate-utils
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement torchvision==0.10.1 (from ultimate-utils) (from versions: 0.1.6, 0.1.7, 0.1.8, 0.1.9, 0.2.0, 0.2.1, 0.2.2, 0.2.2.post2, 0.2.2.post3)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for torchvision==0.10.1

```

where it seems it stopped working to install anything related to pytorch for some reason.

I tried updating pip and conda but it did not work. I did:

```auto
pip install --upgrade pip
conda update conda
conda update conda-build
conda update -n base -c defaults conda
conda update --name base conda
conda update --all
conda install anaconda

```

but none seem to work.

my setup.py looks as follows:

```auto
"""
conda create -n uutils_env python=3.9
conda activate uutils_env
conda remove --all --name uutils_env
rm -rf /Users/brando/anaconda3/envs/uutils_env

pip install -e ~/ultimate-utils/ultimate-utils-proj-src/

pip install ultimate-utils

To test it:
python -c "import uutils; uutils.hello()"
python -c "import uutils; uutils.torch_uu.hello()"

python -c "import uutils; uutils.torch_uu.gpu_test_torch_any_device()"
python -c "import uutils; uutils.torch_uu.gpu_test()"

PyTorch:
    basing the torch install from the pytorch website as of this writing: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/

How do I fix this and what is not working?

I am trying to avoid having to run pip commands outside like:

```auto
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio -c pytorch

```

**at least for cpu in my local laptop** …if I can install gpu ones automatically with a flag it could be nice but for future work…

Hi,

Given the list of available versions that it shows, my first guess is that it is not a supported platform and so the only binaries that are valid are (very) old universal binaries that we use to provide (by mistake).

What is your machine, python version, os, etc?

I was using python 3.9, mac os X, macbook pro, let me think what else and try without those equalities…

I am using torchmeta: [pytorch-meta/setup.py at master · tristandeleu/pytorch-meta · GitHub](https://github.com/tristandeleu/pytorch-meta/blob/master/setup.py) that has

```auto
install_requires=[
        'torch>=1.4.0,<1.10.0',
        'torchvision>=0.5.0,<0.11.0',
        'numpy>=1.14.0',
        'Pillow>=7.0.0',
        'h5py',
        'tqdm>=4.0.0',
        'requests', # Required by Torchvision
        'ordered-set'
    ],

@albanD was this suppose to fail too?

```auto
    install_requires=[
        'torch>=1.4.0,<1.10.0',
        'torchvision>=0.5.0,<0.11.0',
        'torchaudio>=0.9.1',

```

error:

```auto
(uutils_env) brandomiranda~/ultimate-utils ❯ pip install -e .
Obtaining file:///Users/brandomiranda/ultimate-utils
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement torch<1.10.0,>=1.4.0 (from ultimate-utils) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for torch<1.10.0,>=1.4.0

```

why is it saying

```auto
(from versions: none)

```

??

* * *

I think it’s the python 3.10 version that causes the issues, bizarre, why is that…? Saying that since the current installation seems to be working:

I think I have those version since those are the ones I assume worked in my cluster since I have this command in my notes:

```auto
    pip3 install torch==1.9.1+cu111 torchvision==0.10.1+cu111 torchaudio==0.9.1 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

It seems that once you sort out your PATH (which mine was broken details [Why is python using 3.8.1 and 3.9, then fail to install packages (ERROR: Package pkg requires a different Python: 3.8.1 not in '\>=3.9.0')? - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70307161/why-is-python-using-3-8-1-and-3-9-then-fail-to-install-packages-error-package?noredirect=1#comment124284866_70307161)) then create a conda env with python 3.9 things seemed to work.
