--target
required for --python-version
even though using --ignore-installed --dry-run
· Issue #12215 · pypa/pip (original) (raw)
Description
Just a corner case, most like. I'm using --ignore-installed --dry-run --report XYZ.txt --python-version=3.9 --only-binary=:all:
and I'm seeing ERROR: Can not use any platform or abi specific options unless installing via '--target'
The workaround is just --target .
Expected behavior
No error, since the target really doesn't matter (I think. Happy to be wrong).
pip version
23.1.2
Python version
Running on 3.11, targeting 3.9
OS
Ubuntu
How to Reproduce
$ pip install --ignore-installed --dry-run --report report.txt --python-version 3.9 --only-binary=:all: toml
Output
ERROR: Can not use any platform or abi specific options unless installing via '--target'
