Understanding "subprocess-exited-with-error" from Pip
<section class="notice"> This question is about the *general case* of `subprocess-exited-with-error`. It's intended to help you understand the situation if you get an error like this, and there are some common workarounds - but solving the problem directly will require more analysis. </section> Sometimes when I try to install a package from PyPI with Pip, I get a long error message, and the output ends like: ```none note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. error: subprocess-exited-with-error × Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully. │ exit code: 1 ╰─> See above for output. note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. ``` What exactly is happening, and why? In particular, what "subprocess" is Pip talking about? Can I do anything about it?
