How to install prev versions on py arcgis

Question

I am trying to install version 3.2.1. I believe this is the previous version. I'm running into un-degabble errors with 2.4.0 and so want to run a prev version. The docs don't explain anything. I am using pipenv, and the issue may lie here as I am not sure the exact syntax for exact versioning. What I've tried: pipfile [[source]] url = "https://pypi.org/simple" verify_ssl = true name = "pypi" [packages] arcgis-mapping = "*" pyreadline3 = "*" [dev-packages] [requires] python_version = "3.12.0" With pipenv shell running with 3.12.0 virtual env, and which python showing 3.12.0. Deleting lock file does not help. $ pipenv install arcgis~=2.3.1 RuntimeError: Failed to lock Pipfile.lock! I also tried plain pip: $ pip install arcgis~=2.3.1 ERROR: Ignored the following yanked versions: 1.8.5.post1, 1.8.5.post2 ERROR: Ignored the following versions that require a different python version: 2.0.1 Requires-Python >=3.7, <3.10; 2.1.0 Requires-Python >=3.7, <3.10; 2.1.0.1 Requires-Python >=3.7, <3.10; 2.1.0.2 Requires-Python >=3.7, <3.10; 2.1.0.3 Requires-Python >=3.7, <3.10; 2.1.0.4 Requires-Python >=3.7, <3.10; 2.1.0.5 Requires-Python <3.10,>=3.7; 2.2.0 Requires-Python >=3.9, <3.12; 2.2.0.1 Requires-Python >=3.9, <3.12; 2.2.0.2 Requires-Python >=3.9, <3.12; 2.2.0.3 Requires-Python >=3.9, <3.12; 2.2.0.4 Requires-Python <3.12,>=3.9; 2.3.0 Requires-Python <3.12,>=3.9; 2.3.0.1 Requires-Python <3.12,>=3.9; 2.3.0.2 Requires-Python <3.12,>=3.9; 2.3.0.3 Requires-Python <3.12,>=3.9; 2.3.1 Requires-Python <3.12,>=3.9 ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement arcgis~=2.3.1 (from versions: 1.3.0, 1.3.0.post1, 1.3.0.post2, 1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.2.post1, 1.5.3, 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.6.1.post1, 1.6.2, 1.6.2.post1, 1.7.0, 1.7.1, 1.8.0, 1.8.0.post1, 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 1.8.3, 1.8.3.post1, 1.8.3.post2, 1.8.4, 1.8.5.post3, 1.9.0, 1.9.1, 2.0.0, 2.4.0) ERROR: No matching distribution found for arcgis~=2.3.1 This clearly says 2.3.1 Requires-Python <3 .12,>=3.9, and I'm using 3.12. How can I switch to it? Pip says that version does exist.

welcome to the nightmare of trying to use your favorite python library in pro!

Like Josh, i highly recommend using Conda and then learning how to create and freeze custom virtual environments. Conda can really help in understanding what you are working with inside an environment (symver etc) and to easily manipulate those environments.

Hey @chris_del101

When it says it requires <3 .12 and >= 3.9 that means it need something less than 3.12 or greater than or equal to 3.9. Using Python 3.12 would not work in this case, you will need to install 3.11, 3.10, or 3.9 to install this version from what I'm seeing.

You'd probably need to recreate your environment using "pipenv --python 3.11" once installed and then ensure the Pipfile has 3.11 stated within, then install all dependencies.

You're probably better off using a python environment manager like conda.

conda create -n arcgis231 -c esri arcgis=2.3.1
