Why can't I pip install the latest version of fabric?

Question

I'm using a requirements file that lists all packages to install as part of my virtual env. One of these is Fabric=1.10.2, the most recent release. However, this fails to match:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement fabric==1.10.2 (from -r stable-req.txt (line 4)) (from versions: 0.0.1.macosx-10.4-i386, 0.0.2.macosx-10.4-i386, 0.0.3.macosx-10.4-i386, 0.0.4.macosx-10.4-i386, 0.0.5.macosx-10.4-i386, 0.0.1, 0.0.2, 0.0.3, 0.0.4, 0.0.5, 0.0.6, 0.0.7, 0.0.8, 0.0.9, 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.9.0, 0.9.1, 0.9.2, 0.9.3, 0.9.4, 0.9.5, 0.9.6, 0.9.7, 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.5, 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5, 1.1.6, 1.1.7, 1.1.8, 1.10.0, 1.10.1, 1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.4, 1.2.5, 1.2.6, 1.3.0, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.3.4, 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.7, 1.3.8, 1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3, 1.4.4, 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3, 1.5.4, 1.5.5, 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.6.2, 1.6.4, 1.7.0, 1.7.1, 1.7.2, 1.7.3, 1.7.4, 1.7.5, 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 1.8.3, 1.8.4, 1.8.5, 1.9.0, 1.9.1, 1.9.2, 0.0.1.macosx-10.4-i386, 0.0.2.macosx-10.4-i386, 0.0.3.macosx-10.4-i386, 0.0.4.macosx-10.4-i386, 0.0.5.macosx-10.4-i386, 0.0.1, 0.0.2, 0.0.3, 0.0.4, 0.0.5, 0.0.6, 0.0.7, 0.0.8, 0.0.9, 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.9.0, 0.9.1, 0.9.2, 0.9.3, 0.9.4, 0.9.5, 0.9.6, 0.9.7, 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.5, 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5, 1.1.6, 1.1.7, 1.1.8, 1.10.0, 1.10.1, 1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.4, 1.2.5, 1.2.6, 1.3.0, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.3.4, 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.7, 1.3.8, 1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3, 1.4.4, 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3, 1.5.4, 1.5.5, 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.6.2, 1.6.4, 1.7.0, 1.7.1, 1.7.2, 1.7.3, 1.7.4, 1.7.5, 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 1.8.3, 1.8.4, 1.8.5, 1.9.0, 1.9.1, 1.9.2) No distributions matching the version for fabric==1.10.2 (from -r stable-req.txt (line > 4))

Am I stuck with 1.10.1 until this has been propped somewhere? Is there a way I can initiate that prop, or whatever needs to happen? I'm not too well versed in how this works behind the scenes, so any insight would be super.

Update 1

To address the comments and answers provided, calling upgrade isn't really an option, because we want to explicitly upgrade to 1.10.2, which just happens to be the latest release at the moment. Once 1.10.3 is released, we don't want our scripts to auto-update our clients with this version until we tell it to do so.

Answer 1

Latest version will be installed with

pip install django

Answer 2

Well I think you can try to install it via commit id.

I think the commit you want is: https://github.com/fabric/fabric/commit/c5065944e7f274cbd5b97c248681f89705972b3a

So you can try the following command:

pip install git+git://github.com/fabric/fabric.git@c5065944e7f274cbd5b97c248681f89705972b3a

PS: this not solve the problem (installing via version 1.10.2) but you might be able to install to work with the same code base of version you need.

Hope it helps! =)

Answer 3

try:

sudo pip install --upgrade pip
pip uninstall fabric
pip install fabric==1.10.2
