'Python - Installing a DistUtils Package with a New Version
I am trying to replicate a Python environment on an offline, airgapped machine
I have ported over via disc the .whl files I need for all of my Python packages to the new machine. For reasons I don't particularly want to get into here, I'd like to be able to use the default Python interpreter ( Python 2.7.5 ) and not use a venv.
When I try to install my packages, most work fine. Some throw a complaint similar to this...
ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'requests'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.
However, in those cases, --ignore-installed usually works fine.
For some reason though, when installing requests-2.22.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl it throws that error if I use --ignore-installed if I use --force-reinstall, if I try to uninstall. I cannot seem to figure out how to replace this one. The existing installation, if it matters, is requests 2.6.0
This is again an offline, airgapped machine using RHEL 7.
