error installing python packages

Error message

error installing python packages: {0}

What it means

ProcessingEngineError::PythonPackageError, wrapping PluginEnvironmentError when installing the Python packages a plugin's environment requires fails (resolution, download, or wheel incompatibility); raised during trigger/plugin environment setup, not during plugin execution.

Solutions

1. Check the wrapped PluginEnvironmentError for the failing package and version spec
2. Verify network access to the package index and that pinned versions resolve
3. Pin compatible package versions in the plugin's requirements
