Problem
The third setup step in
docs/contributing.rstfails on a new virtualenv:Creating the virtualenv with
--upgrade-depsmakes it work:Why
The
--groupoption was added in pip 25.1 (2025-04-26):https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/news/#v25-1
The
--upgrade-depsflag upgrades pip when the virtualenv is created: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.htmlA newly created virtualenv may have an older pip, so the very first setup
command fails for new contributors as it did in my case.
