Why does this Sparkpost Python SDK Install fail?

I'm trying to install sparkpost sdk in the read me on git hub. I used the command:

pip install sparkpost

But I got this error:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement sparkpost (from versions: 1.0.0.dev1, 1.0.0.dev1)

Solution

  • The SparkPost Python SDK is currently in a pre-release version (that's what the .dev1 is at the end of the version).

    Using pip > version 1.4.X you must explicitly define you want to use a pre-release package using the --pre option of pip install [options] command.

    Try with this and it should work:

    pip install --pre sparkpost

    You may need to run as sudo if you experience permission issues.

    I have created a new issue in https://github.com/sparkpost/python-sparkpost repository and I'll add the workaround to the documentation.

    Thanks for finding this.
