Can't install Micropython module through upip, error message is not clear

I'm trying to work with the Tronpy module in Micropython. It works fine when I'm using CPython. However, in Micropython, I tried to install it and got an error message. I'm using Fedora 34.

$ micropython -m upip install tronpy
Installing to: /home/user/.micropython/lib/
Warning: micropython.org SSL certificate is not validated
Error installing 'tronpy': , packages may be partially installed

I'm new to Micropython and this error message isn't helpfull at all. How can I track the nature of this error and solve it?

Thank you very much in advance.

It appears that you are attempting to upip install a CPython module on MicroPython. (sorry , could have seen that sooner)

That will not work - unless that module is packaged specifically for MicroPython.

The error message could be clearer though...

I would suggest searching PyPi for MicroPython specific packages, either through the micropython- prefix or using the programming language filter: screenshot

lastly: in upip you can enable some debug messages by setting upip.debug = True as in the below sample

MicroPython v1.16-dirty on 2021-06-19; linux version
Use Ctrl-D to exit, Ctrl-E for paste mode
>>> import upip
>>> upip.debug = True
>>> upip.install('micropython-pystone')
