What are the valid values for --platform, --abi, and --implementation for pip download?

pip download has several flags that I would like to play with --platform, --abi, and --implementation.

Where can I find the complete list of valid values for these flags?

Solution

  • I don't think there is one definitive list. You have to collect it from different sources. Start with PEP 425: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0425/

    python tag: ‘py27’, ‘cp33’

    abi tag: ‘cp32dmu’, ‘none’

    platform tag: ‘linux_x86_64’, ‘any’

    --implementation:

    cp: CPython
ip: IronPython
pp: PyPy
jy: Jython

    --platform:

    win32
linux_i386
linux_x86_64
