I got the following error when trying to install boto3 from python on my mac

pip3 install boto
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement boto (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for boto

When I check on PyPi.org, I see results for boto3 package.

  1. Any reason why this error comes up?
  2. Any other index/option I could use?

I tried downloading the package from github and then installing it from source, but faced the same issue when installing one of the dependencies in boto3/requirements.txt.

boto3 pypi python

I was able to resolve this using a different index by using the --extra-index-url flag.

pip3 install --extra-index-url https://pypi.python.org/simple boto3

For me, it was resolved after adding --upgrade.

Final command: pip3 install boto3 --upgrade

Before :

$pip3 install boto3
