What was wrong?

With the command "pip install web3"
I got the error as following :

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement rusty-rlp<0.2,>=0.1.15 (from rlp<=2.0.0.alpha-1,>=1.0.0->eth-account<0.6.0,>=0.5.3->web3) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for rusty-rlp<0.2,>=0.1.15 (from rlp<=2.0.0.alpha-1,>=1.0.0->eth-account<0.6.0,>=0.5.3->web3)

I did followed this as much as I could : https://web3py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/troubleshooting.html#setup-environment

I'm using JetBrains PyCharm and its console with a virtual environnement

what can I do to be able to install web3 ?

I see this happening in alpine. With fedora or ubuntu it works fine

i had the same problem with an alpine docker build. Setting web3 <= 5.8.0 let's it run through.
If that works for you depends on if you need any changes from after 5.8.0

Interesting, thanks for raising this and tracking down a version that works. I'll see if I can figure out what changed after 5.8.0 🤔

Installing Windows SDK fixed the issue for me

This might be a dependency resolution issue. Try installing with either pip install web3 --use-feature=2020-resolver or with pip version 20.3 or greater.
