[Python] How to download the older version of the grpcio-testing package not present in pypi anymore?

[mark.es...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have asked this question in SO for transparency https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60531845/how-do-you-download-older-version-of-the-tar-gz-file-not-present-in-pypi-anymore

But I wanted to ask here also?

I just would like to find out where I could get a copy of the tar.gz file for the grpcio-testing package that is not present in the pypi repository anymore?  

Is there a link I could find where it is hosted?

I needed that version because of some dependency restriction.

The older version in pypi is 1.13 but I needed the 1.11 version.

Hoping somebody could help me.

Cheers!

I'm not sure what is blocking your upgrade, but I would recommend to use newer version of gRPC pairing with newer `grpcio-testing` package. I think we have maintained the backward compatibility decently.

Besides, you can install `pip` packages without their dependencies with flag `--no-deps` (considered as a hack).

Sorry, there isn't any link to old artifacts, as people answered in SO, you might have to build it yourself.

Hi, PyPI admin here. The earliest release published on PyPI was 1.13.0, earlier releases like 1.11.0 were never published there.

You'll need to build from a source release instead: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/releases/tag/v1.11.0

Is there a document or link on how to build from source?  I am only interested in rebuilding the grpcio-testing package from the 1.11 verion.

Thanks
