When installing the Telepot library for Python, some users may encounter the error Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement aiohttp. This error indicates that the version of the aiohttp library installed on your system is not compatible with Telepot.
The Telepot library relies on aiohttp to handle asynchronous HTTP requests. The latest few releases of Telepot require aiohttp version 3.8.1 or newer. If you have an older version of aiohttp already installed, you will see this compatibility error when trying to install Telepot.
There are a couple approaches to resolve this:
pip install telepot[aiohttp<3.8.1]This will install a version of Telepot compatible with your specific aiohttp version.
The key takeaway is that Telepot may require a newer aiohttp release than what you already have installed. Check your aiohttp version first when hitting this error. Upgrading aiohttp or installing a Telepot version compatible with your aiohttp release should resolve it.
Virtual environments also provide a clean way to run applications with disjoint dependency trees. Conda environments offer similar dependency isolation benefits across projects.
I hope these tips help you get Telepot installed!
