How to Install Specific Python Package Versions with Pip?

Installing Specific Package Versions with Pip

Problem:

Installing specific package versions through Pip can be challenging. For instance, attempting to install MySQL_python version 1.2.2 may result in the latest version (1.2.3) being installed instead. This can be frustrating when compatibility with specific versions is crucial.

Solution:

Updated Solution (2022-12-28):

For the most up-to-date solution, use the following command:

pip install --force-reinstall -v "MySQL_python==1.2.2"

Original Solution:

Previously, the recommended solution involved using -I (--ignore-installed):

pip install -Iv "MySQL_python==1.2.2"

However, this option may not work due to a broken PyPI URL link for MySQL_python v1.2.2. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Uninstall the existing MySQL_python package:

   pip uninstall MySQL_python

   Copy after login

2. Download the specific package version from the correct URL:

   pip install -Iv "http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/files/mysql-python/1.2.2/MySQL-python-1.2.2.tar.gz/download"

   Copy after login

This process will ensure that the desired package version is installed on your system.
