setuptools - Deploy python package but not for Windows

Question

I'd like to release a version 2 of my python project to pypi but it is not Windows compatible. The v1 is already on pypi and supports all OSes.

Is it possible to specify in the setup.py that this new release is not available on Windows ?

In other word, all I want is pip install my-pkg to install:

• v2 on Linux and Mac
• v1 on Windows

Thanks you!

Answer 1

You will have to write clear documentation to instruct your Windows users to call:

python -m  pip install 'my-pkg<2'
