cant install pip package

I am trying to make my own python3 pip package. I uploaded it online with twine from my command line, and I can see it online here:

https://pypi.org/project/example-pkg-martinbarker-test/

I am following this tutorial exactly, (except for changing the package name), but if I try to install the package with the instruction from the url:

pip install example-pkg-martinbarker-test

I get an error:

# pip install example-pkg-martinbarker-test
Collecting example-pkg-martinbarker-test
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement example-pkg-martinbarker-test (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for example-pkg-martinbarker-test

Is it something with how I uploaded my package to twine thats causing this error?

The install works for me when installing using Python 3, and fails using Python 2.

In this case, ensure that you are running pip for Python 3. You may wish to create a virtual environment for Python 3, and install the package.

To create the virtual environment:

virtualenv env -p python3

To activate the virtual env:

source ./env/bin/activate

To check the version:

pip -V

pip 19.3.1 from some/path/env/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)

To install:

pip install example-pkg-martinbarker-test

This successfully installs the package you mention.

Collecting example-pkg-martinbarker-test
