No matching distribution found for pymqi==1.12.0 even if the version is on the list

Question

I'm getting "No matching distribution found" error even though the version that I asked for is in the list suggested by pip. Has anyone faced this problem before ?

I am using Python 3.6.8 and pip 21.3.1.

$ python -m pip install pymqi==1.12.0

Look closely at the error:

File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-qqk862ea\pymqi_435a0bb65f7143dc90a321b8cd537fe6\setup.py", line 41, in get_windows_settings
      r'{}\tools\Lib64'.format(os.environ['MQ_FILE_PATH'])]
    File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\os.py", line 669, in __getitem__
      raise KeyError(key) from None
  KeyError: 'MQ_FILE_PATH'

This error tells that the MQ_FILE_PATH environment variable is not set. Set this environment variable before running python -m pip install pymqi==1.12.0.

Note: The check of the presence of the MQ_FILE_PATH environment variable has been fixed in later versions of pymqi. See this Pull Request in the pymqi GitHub repository.
