Not sure why search doesnāt find it, but itās located here:
servo Ā· PyPI
You can download the package and select āInstall from local fileā in package manager.

I didnāt see on the servo Ā· PyPI website how to download the .whl file to my laptop so I installed the servo package (pip install servo) to my laptop. The install cmd window listed where the .whl file was extracted.
I used the āInstall from local fileā option on Thonny using the .whl file.
Thanks for the help

Thanks for letting us know that you got it sorted. The āDownload filesā button on the servo1 page gives you the option to download servo-1.tar.gz which will also install from package manager.

The servo 1 project (servo-1.tar.gz) did not work. The package is missing main.py as seen in the file list on the pico. I did download the .gz file from pypi.org and install from the .gz file.
The micopython-servo 1.0.1 (micropython_servo-1.0.1-py3-none-any.whl) does work. I downloaded the .whl file from pypi.org. It installed correctly and the main.py file is present.
Thanks again
main.py is not part of the library. It might be included with some downloads as an example sketch.

Same problem here !
Thonny is unable to locate the micropython servo library on PyPi but itās there.
Iāve downloaded the two versions as the thread indicate here and try to install manually but I got an error

Hey @Marc285770,
I seem to remember @James46717 made a post yesterday detailing that PyPi was currently being attacked by bots and had been inaccessible.
Iām unsure of the specific nature of the issues people were facing, but this could have been the root cause. Can you confirm that you are still experiencing the error today?

Hi Zach,
Sorry for the delay to answer
I tried this morning but no success. If I type āservoā I have results for my query but āmicropython servoā I still have nothing.
Happy New Year to all by the way,
Cheers

Hey @Marc285770,
Thanks for confirming! Just wanted to check your process for installing the packages manually. The error youāre receiving seems to be typically caused by some sort of incorrect data in the command. Which seems strange given you should be able to manually install it without using the terminal at all. Iāll detail the steps Iāve taken to manually install the file as per Jeffās method from earlier in the thread.
Selecting āTools > Manage Packagesā and then selecting āInstall from local fileā as seen in the image below.
This will allow you to navigate to the download location of the .whl file and select it to be manually installed.
I assume these are the steps youāve taken, and are still receiving the error? If so, it may be worth reading through some of the steps taken in this Stack Overflow forum thread.
It is a few years old but these solutions may prove useful still. There are also some useful debugging commands that may provide more information on the error.
Hope this helps!
Hi Zach,
Still no results. I still receive the same message that when I first tried to manually install microservo python.
I tried a few solutions from the threads but Iām at a lost presently
I must point out that Iām on Bookworm with a Raspberry Pi 5 as the main computer, updated today

Ok, Iāve redirected my search and the problem is still going on with no stable solution for the foreseable future 
Hi @Marc285770
Looking at it, Thonny has been updated to version 4.1.7 which will address the issue with not being able to find packages if you update your version of Thonny you should be able to search for them via the package manager.
