Installation problem on Ubuntu 24.04 inside conda environment

[gassmoeller]

I am following this description of how to install pyopmspe11 and ran into an issue. Before doing the pip install I successfully installed the binary distribution of flow for Ubuntu 24.04 following this page. The installation of pyopmspe11 fails with the following message:

INFO: pip is looking at multiple versions of pyopmspe11 to determine which version is compatible with other requirements. This could take a while.
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement resdata (from pyopmspe11) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for resdata

I installed this in a conda environment. If I instead follow the instruction for a source install (second code box here) and install it in a virtual python environment the installation succeeds. Maybe there is a weird interaction why pip inside my conda environment doesnt find the correct version of resdata? Any advice would be appreciated, but also if conda is not supported it should probably be mentioned on the installation page.

Does it work with python <3.13? This python version is quite new and might be related to your problem here. When you installed it in a python virtual environment, was it for the same python version?

Thanks @gassmoeller for raising this. This seems to be due to Python3.13 as @MatthewFlamm has commented, thanks. Now in the top of the installation of the documentation this has been added in #99:

Installation
The following steps work installing the dependencies in Linux via apt-get or in macOS using brew or macports. While using packages managers such as Anaconda, Miniforge, or Mamba might work, these are not tested. In addition, the current supported Python versions for macOS are 3.10 to 3.12 and for Linux 3.8 to 3.12. We will update the documentation when Python3.13 is supported (e.g., the resdata Python package is not yet available via pip install in Python 3.13).

Thanks for documenting the issue. This solves the problem as far as openjournals/joss-reviews#7357 is concerned, but I will leave this issue open so that you (and your users) can find it until python 3.13 is supported.
