Environment details

1. During install
2. OS type and version: all
3. Python version and virtual environment information: python --version: all
4. google-cloud- version: pip show google-<service> or pip freeze: all

Steps to reproduce

1. Have grpcio==1.27.0 locked in a Pipfile.lock
2. Try to install google-cloud-python. The release grpcio==1.27.0 was removed, so it fails with An error occurred while installing grpcio==1.27.0 --

Making sure to follow these steps will guarantee the quickest resolution possible.

Hi @martinvol. Which specific package are you installing?

The grpc dependency is specified through google-api-core which has a version range.

dependencies = [
    "googleapis-common-protos >= 1.6.0, < 2.0dev",
    "protobuf >= 3.4.0",
    "google-auth >= 0.4.0, < 2.0dev",
    "requests >= 2.18.0, < 3.0.0dev",
    "setuptools >= 34.0.0",
    "six >= 1.10.0",
    "pytz",
    'futures >= 3.2.0; python_version < "3.2"',
]
extras = {
    "grpc": "grpcio >= 1.8.2, < 2.0dev",
    "grpcgcp": "grpcio-gcp >= 0.2.2",
    "grpcio-gcp": "grpcio-gcp >= 0.2.2",

grpcio is a dependency of most of the Google Cloud Python libraries but grpcio-tools is not. (see setup.py pasted above)

Try to install google-cloud-python. The release grpcio==1.27.0 was removed, so it fails with An error occurred while installing grpcio==1.27.0 --

google-cloud-python is not a published package on PyPI. Are you using a specific library, like google-cloud-bigtable or google-cloud-storage?

The fact that our libraries depend on grpcio doesn't mean they are responsible for handling / responding to any grpcio-driven packaging issues. There is nothing we can do here (or in any of the post-repo-split libraries) to help the case outlined above.
