Jack, this answer is as helpful as "RTFM and you'll figure it out"
Looking at requirements.txt / setup.py of every single package is a wild
goose chase. These files are not installed, but only in the filesystem
temporarily (if building from a source distribution) or never (if
installing from a wheel). Not to mention the files are all under a crazy
cache directory structure in a hidden directory...
Regardless, the whole point of setup.py is to tell *pip* what the
dependencies are and let it firgure out all that nonsense. If pip
installed everything without errors, _it should be good_. Yet there's a
problem... so why didn't pip catch it? Because it's a RUNTIME PROBLEM. It
can be seen in the stack that he posted:
File
"/QOpenSys/pkgs/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py",
line 860, in resolve
raise VersionConflict(dist, req).with_context(dependent_req)
pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (tornado 6.1
(/QOpenSys/pkgs/lib/python3.6/site-packages),
Requirement.parse('tornado<6'), {'livereload'})
Some package is calling setuptools (pkg_resources is part of setuptools)
at runtime and that's when the error is found. We need to see the rest of
the stack to see _who_ called setuptools though.
In addition, Joe you can run "pip3 list" to compare your WSL and IBM i
environments.

The whole system is complicated. There's thousands of pages about this
stuff on the web. Setuptools is explained in the Python documentation.
The two files would be in the module package which is downloaded
automatically for you by pip and stored in a disk cache directory. All
the
packages you have pip installed are there still if you want to unzip
them
and look.
If a module tells you it wants some version, believe it. Create a
virtual
environment and install it there.
