Re: [IBMiOSS] Python, ACS, Open Source and MKDocs ** SOLVED **

And just as a final addendum, I manually made the changes below to the livereload METADATA Requires-Dist statements, and mkdocs subsequently ran fine.  So that indeed was the root cause.  How I got to that state is most likely just a confluence of installation ignorance and version mismatches, but I'm not going to worry about it for now.

Sorry, that was my confusion due to venv automatically installing pip 18.1
which is neither the version installed from rpm, nor the newest version
available. I assumed that 18.1 must be the version in rpm (been a while
since I looked at the pip version we ship).
Ok, now that we got that sorted, I found that pip _does_ automatically
build and install wheels _if_ the wheel package is installed, which
apparently is not the default. After installing the wheel package, I now
see the METADATA file and again see
Requires-Dist: tornado (<6) ; python_version == "2.7"
Requires-Dist: tornado ; python_version > "2.7"
just like on Linux. I got the same result with 9.0.1, 18.1, and 20.3.3 so
I'm not sure how you got the result you did.
