Using a-shell on iPad Pro 4. Failed to pip install scipy. I am not sure what’s the problem. I tried to install/upgrade meson-python and pyproject.toml, but it seems that the package is already up to date. A-shell comes with pandas and numpy pre installed. I tried to upgrade numpy and I got the same error message. Finally, I tried to install older versions of scipy and it keeps failing for similar reasons.

The error message is now as follows: Using cached scipy-1.14.0.tar.gz (58.6 MB) Running command Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) meson-python: error: Could not find meson version 0.63.3 or newer, found . error: subprocess-exited-with-error × Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) 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. full command: python3 /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/0A7402AB-0D9B-458A-AD0E-4876CA8F4F4F/Library/lib/python3.11/sitepackages/pip/_vendor/pyproject_hooks/_in_process/_in_process.py prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/0A7402AB-0D9B-458A-AD0E-4876CA8F4F4F/tmp/tmpsgn2hb9n cwd: /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/0A7402AB-0D9B-458A-AD0E-4876CA8F4F4F/tmp/pip-install-edonx9pv/scipy_084964d010b54e1cbbfb9a7154db89a4 Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) ... error error: metadata-generation-failed × Encountered error while generating package metadata. ╰─> See above for output. note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip. hint: See above for details.
