I'm attempting to install PyMol open source in the Docker image lambci/lambda:build-python3.8 using miniconda and no matter what version of Python I use I get an UnsatisfiableError from miniconda, but each time it says it wants a different set of Python versions, but always excluding my current one.
An example error message is
UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be incompatible with the existing python installation in your environment:
Specifications:
- pymol-open-source -> python[version='>=2.7,<2.8.0a0|>=3.6,<3.7.0a0|>=3.8,<3.9.0a0|>=3.5,<3.6.0a0']
Your python: python=3.7
which seems clear enough - I need any version of Python except 3.7, but when I change Python versions the errors keep dancing around. Here are the Python versions I tried and the versions it said it wanted for each
Python=3.8 python[version='>=3.7,<3.8.0a0']
Python=3.7 (3.7.9) python[version='>=2.7,<2.8.0a0|>=3.6,<3.7.0a0|>=3.8,<3.9.0a0|>=3.5,<3.6.0a0']
Python=3.6 python[version='>=3.7,<3.8.0a0']
Python=3.9 (the only one that spit out two sets of dependencies)
- pymol-open-source -> python[version='>=2.7,<2.8.0a0|>=3.6,<3.7.0a0|>=3.8,<3.9.0a0|>=3.5,<3.6.0a0']
- pymol-open-source -> python[version='>=3.7,<3.8.0a0']
Python=3.5 python[version='>=3.7,<3.8.0a0']
Python=3.7.0 python[version='>=2.7,<2.8.0a0|>=3.6,<3.7.0a0|>=3.8,<3.9.0a0|>=3.5,<3.6.0a0']
Miniconda is from https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
The same pymol-open-source package installs using conda on my Mac without any problem.
Anyone know how to solve (or even debug) this? Or, more generally, how to get PyMol available in an Amazon Lambda layer?
