In our case, we provide prebuilt Python packages in our [[Available Python wheels|wheelhouse]] only for the 3 most recent Python versions available on the systems. This will result in dependencies issues when trying to install those packages with older versions of Python. See [[Python#Package_.27X.27_requires_a_different_Python:_X.Y.Z_not_in_.27.3E.3DX.Y.27|Troubleshooting]]. | ||

We provide Python wheels for a number of packages. In the above example, the [https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_wheel/#cmdoption-no-index <code>--no-index</code>] option tells <code>pip</code> to ''not'' install from PyPI, but instead to install only from locally-available packages, i.e. our wheels. | ||

If you omit the <code>--no-index</code> option, <code>pip</code> will search both PyPI and local packages, and use the latest version available. If PyPI has a newer version, it will be installed instead of our wheel, possibly causing issues. If you are certain that you prefer to download a package from PyPI rather than use a wheel, you can use the <code>--no-binary</code> option, which tells <code>pip</code> to ignore | If you omit the <code>--no-index</code> option, <code>pip</code> will search both PyPI and local packages, and use the latest version available.

If you are certain that you prefer to download a package from PyPI rather than use a wheel, you can use the <code>--no-binary</code> option, which tells <code>pip</code> to ignore prebuilt packages entirely. Note that this will also ignore wheels that are distributed through PyPI, and will always compile the package from source. | ||
