Unable to Install the package

[Anurag-Pola]

pip install pydocstringformatter gives the following error

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pydocstringformatter (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pydocstringformatter

Am I missing something?

[DanielNoord]

Which version of python is pip running on?

[Anurag-Pola]

Python 3.9

[DanielNoord]

Hmm could you give me the output of pip --version?

[Anurag-Pola]

pip 21.2.4 from C:\some-directories\python3.9\latest\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.9)

[DanielNoord]

Does pip download pydocstringformatter work?

[Anurag-Pola]

No, the same error shows up!

[DanielNoord]

That's weird. Could you try upgrading pip? The latest is 22.1.

[DanielNoord]

And perhaps the output of pip --list.

[Anurag-Pola]

I have tried with updated pip, but no luck

pip --list gives this

Usage:
pip [options]

no such option: --list

[DanielNoord]

Oops, sorry. pip list 😉

Do you know how to setup a virtualenv? And if so, could you perhaps try to do so?

On Windows I think it goes like:

virtualenv venv
.\venv\Scripts\activate

And then

pip list
pip install pydocstringformatter

[Anurag-Pola]

Hey @DanielNoord Thank you for the assist, I just realized the issue, it was something specific to our organization

Apologies for wasting your time

Also can I close the issue directly?

[DanielNoord]

No worries! Happy to help!

Yeah, feel free to close the issue if you don't have any other questions!

[Anurag-Pola]

A small follow up question though

I was trying out docformatter package and there it was not preserving line breaks in docstring comments

Ex:

Before

"""
param1 : some loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong striiiiiiiiiiiiiing
param2 : some description
"""

After

"""
param1 : some loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
striiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing param2 : some description
"""

I found this package while I was searching for a solution for preserving the line breaks

Does it preserve the line breaks??
