Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement yara-python==3.9.0

[sbruno]

Cannot install yara-python 3.9.0 in Linux using pip because there is no matching package.

Comparing with previous version: https://pypi.org/project/yara-python/3.8.1/#files

Source file was called yara-python-3.8.1.tar.gz
But current is yara-python-3.9.0.macosx-10.13-intel.tar.gz

I think that could be the problem.

As a workaround you can do

pip install -U git+https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara-python

To build the ltetest commit from git instead.

Same issue here. I was not able to install 3.9.0 neither on Linux nor on Mac OS X

# pip install yara-python==3.9.0
Collecting yara-python==3.9.0
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement yara-python==3.9.0 (from versions: 3.9.0.macosx-10.13-intel, 3.5.0, 3.6.0, 3.6.1, 3.6.2, 3.6.3, 3.7.0, 3.8.0, 3.8.1)

pipenv also can't seem to handle this (thus breaking my Travis builds)

[pipenv.exceptions.InstallError]: ['Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement yara-python==3.9.0 (from -r /tmp/pipenv-a8fe4y8j-requirements/pipenv-2a0iudui-requirement.txt (line 1)) (from versions: 3.9.0.macosx-10.13-intel, 3.5.0, 3.6.0, 3.6.1, 3.6.2, 3.6.3, 3.7.0, 3.8.0, 3.8.1)', 'No matching distribution found for yara-python==3.9.0 (from -r /tmp/pipenv-a8fe4y8j-requirements/pipenv-2a0iudui-requirement.txt (line 1))']

@plusvic were there any changes in the build process or how it is published to pypi since 3.8.1? I don't see any change in this repo that could have caused the source distribution to be generated differently.

@tomchop As a workaround, you can replace the yara line in your requirements.txt file with:

git+https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara-python

This is not a workaround I would suggest at all because you would end up installing from HEAD. This means users will install different "versions" of the package. And HEAD is not even supposed to work correctly while releases are created exactly for this purpose. The perfect recipe for disaster if your code is used by people other than you.

[sbruno]

To avoid that maybe specifying the commit for 3.9.0 could work, or even the version.
I haven't tried any of those but I think it should work:

git+https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara-python@63ac2417a918692be6d5bd659fbfd39564396ec3

git+https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara-python@v3.9.0

[MrCrumbs]

Neither of the two mentioned options work. Is there a plan to fix this? Asking before I create my own wheel, since I need the new 3.9.0 version in my env.

[seanthegeek]

Those commands work for me. What errors are you getting?

[MrCrumbs]

I just checked now and it seems you're right.. even though I could have sworn I tried it before and it gave me the same original error (of this issue).
Still, wouldn't it be best to fix this issue?

[seanthegeek]

I'd like to see a proper release too, but I'm not a member of this project.

[wesinator]

Does using a newer version of the python interface actually cause problems?

Ubuntu 20.04 provides python version 3.11.0 even though the yara version is still 3.9.0 - https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/python3-yara

[saikrishnameda248]

Even after i added the yara-python line in requirements.txt getting below error

Hi Bro, I had the same issue , found the solution at:

https://www.scivision.dev/python-windows-visual-c-14-required/

We need to install certain libraries.
