No matching distribution found for AutoRA core

After cloning a repository that was created from the autora-theorist-template, I followed the instructions in the Readme to set up the environment.
After running pip install -e ".[dev]", I get the following error:

ERROR: Ignored the following versions that require a different python version: 3.0.0a0 Requires-Python >=3.8.10,<3.11; 3.0.0a1 Requires-Python >=3.8.10,<3.11; 3.0.0a2 Requires-Python >=3.8.10,<3.11; 3.0.0a3 Requires-Python <3.11,>=3.8.10

@hollandjg @younesStrittmatter Any ideas on how to resolve this?

This is possibly related to #363

The error suggests that it has to do with your python version. What python version are you running in your environment? Maybe you have to create your environment with a specific version

[hollandjg]

I thought the same. Can you try

virtualenv venv -p python3.8

... before running the install command?

[musslick]

Unfortunately, that did not solve it. I still get the following error message:

Still seems like a problem with the python version. When running python in your command line, what version shows up?

[musslick]

You are right, it was the python version. Apparently installing virtualenv venv -p python3.8 gave me Python version 3.8.2 which is not sufficient. What solved it was virtualenv venv -p python3.9. I added a pull request for changing the documentation to include the python version as you suggested below!

[younesStrittmatter]

we should definitely add this to the README. I think by default virtualenv uses the newest version.
