pip install cannot install such dependency

[WilliamChen-luckbob]

Description

Here I'm going to install a dependency named colorama version 0.4.6
using pip in windows 10 and pip version is pip 21.3.1 from d:\pythonrepository\python36\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.6)
You can see this version is existing like below

The dependency is existing in pypi.org since 2022 and today is 2023-04-14 but I have got an error when installing it.

Here is my pip.ini file.

[global]
index-url = https://pypi.org/simple

Here is the command and feedback, no 0.4.6 was found and I don't know why

Can you get more verbose output using -vvv please?

colorama 0.4.6 dropped support for Python 3.6: https://github.com/tartley/colorama/blob/master/CHANGELOG.rst

You must use colorama 0.4.5 or update your Python.

Also Pip no longer supports Python 3.6

Ah yea, good catch.
