Not sure why search doesn’t find it, but it’s located here: [servo · PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/servo/) You can download the package and select ‘Install from local file’ in package manager. ---

I didn’t see on the [servo · PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/servo/) 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 “Install from local file” option on Thonny using the .whl file. Thanks for the help ---

Thanks for letting us know that you got it sorted. The ‘Download files’ button on the servo1 page gives you the option to download [servo-1.tar.gz](https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/6b/15/255f1982d3b3864ef6cf06c13e775843f7f88325d17e5bafcd9b953d8103/servo-1.tar.gz) which will also install from package manager. ---

Did you check this one? [micropython-servo · PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/micropython-servo/) ---

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](http://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](http://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 it’s there. I’ve downloaded the two versions as the thread indicate here and try to install manually but I got an error install install /home/lemairem/Downloads/micropython\_servo-1.0.1-py3-none-any.whl Looking in indexes: [http://127.0.0.1:36628](http://127.0.0.1:36628), [piwheels - Simple index](https://www.piwheels.org/simple) Processing /home/lemairem/Downloads/micropython\_servo-1.0.1-py3-none-any.whl 127.0.0.1 - - [18/Dec/2024 22:56:14] “GET /install/ HTTP/1.1” 404 - ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement install (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for install Error Command ‘[’/home/lemairem/.cache/pipkin/workspaces/d12471e3dff4dc2a9742567e16f4cea8/bin/python3’, ‘-I’, ‘-m’, ‘pip’, ‘–no-color’, ‘–disable-pip-version-check’, ‘–trusted-host’, ‘127.0.0.1’, ‘install’, ‘–no-compile’, ‘–use-pep517’, ‘–upgrade-strategy’, ‘only-if-needed’, ‘install’, ‘/home/lemairem/Downloads/micropython\_servo-1.0.1-py3-none-any.whl’, ‘–index-url’, ‘[http://127.0.0.1:36628](http://127.0.0.1:36628)’]’ returned non-zero exit status 1.

Hey @Marc285770, I seem to remember @James46717 made a post yesterday detailing that PyPi was currently being attacked by bots and had been inaccessible. I’m 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 “servo” I have results for my query but “micropython servo” I still have nothing. Happy New Year to all by the way, Cheers Marc ---

Hey @Marc285770, Thanks for confirming! Just wanted to check your process for installing the packages manually. The error you’re 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. I’ll detail the steps I’ve taken to manually install the file as per Jeff’s method from earlier in the thread. * * * Selecting “Tools \> Manage Packages” and then selecting “Install from local file” as seen in the image below. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/core_electronics/original/2X/2/2f5890d1ff3362077b4fe99915eff9702d6a5e3f.png) 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 you’ve 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](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32302379/could-not-find-a-version-that-satisfies-the-requirement-package). 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 I’m at a lost presently I must point out that I’m on Bookworm with a Raspberry Pi 5 as the main computer, updated today Marc ---

Hi @Marc285770 Looking at it, Thonny has been updated to [version 4.1.7](https://github.com/thonny/thonny/blob/master/CHANGELOG.rst) 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. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/core_electronics/original/2X/b/b442cb721959a7b6ecba57a75263c133dea2e501.png)
