I’m trying to install the win32core
module using pip, but it keeps displaying warnings about the package/wheel metadata not matching with the filename (inconsistent version).
Here’s a snippet of the text displayed in the command prompt before it goes to download older versions:
python -m pip install --no-cache-dir win32core Collecting win32core Downloading win32core-221.28.tar.gz (2.1 MB) |████████████████████████████████| 2.1 MB 2.2 MB/s Installing build dependencies ... done Getting requirements to build wheel ... done Preparing wheel metadata ... done WARNING: Discarding https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/24/ 0a6e0b2e201c76ccd3cda1f97bd64d45daa2b899b50e541962748ec5bc9f5d/ win32core-221.28.tar.gz# sha256=e805548ccde99a3f36931d3eef72cfaaa5dace4288393af898c96f92c1fe5f9e (from https://pypi.org/simple/win32core/).

As I’ve encountered this before, how should I go about installing the module correctly? (I’m on Python 3.9.1)

Pip changed rules in the version resolver, it is more strict now.
See discussions :
https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9186
https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9203
Try using :
python -m pip install --upgrade --no-cache-dir --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver <your_package>
