So I recently updated an old macbook pro up to Mojave (osx 10.14) and decided to use it as a side laptop for development. Using python 3.7, I created a virtualenv like so:
python3.7 -m venv myvirtualenv
Pulled the repo I am working on, enabled my virtualenv and started installing requirements:
billiard==3.6.1.0

Thing is, pip refuses to install this versions and force me to use updated packages. For example, I cant install Django 2.2.12 (only 3.0.5 and onwards):
pip install django==2.2.12
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/
Collecting django==2.2.12
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement django==2.2.12 **(from versions: 3.0.5)**
ERROR: No matching distribution found for django==2.2.12
Same for pretty much all the packages on my requirements.
Ive tested with several python versions (from 3.4 to 3.8) and several pip ones (from 10 to 20, downloading the get-pi.py script and running it). I am pretty sure I am using the correct python and pip versions on every venv created. All of the above works perfectly on a outdated el capitan macbook, so I sense there is a problem related to the OSX. Pip verbose log is (pip 20.0.2):
pip install -vvv django==2.2.12
Non-user install because user site-packages disabled
