Misleading `PackageWarning` when adding a package (`myst-nb==1.0.0`) with a version free dependency (`ipython`) whose `requires-python` range is not satisfied on the latest version about pdm HOT 4 CLOSED

This is a frequently asked question by users: Why did it install version 1.24 when the latest version of numpy is 1.26.x? Previously, PDM silently fell back to the old version, but just TOO MANY users were confused about this and didn't understand how requires-python affects the resolution result. You know, most people don't even read the docs and just complain when the result is not as they desired. So I think it's necessary to tell them about this and explain how to use the new version if they want to. The warning can be silenced with -q config or project configuration.

I know people have different expectations on the same result, but please do not interrogate with an unquestionable tone.

Hello, first my apologies for the tone, I really didn’t want to sound harsh or else.

Thanks for the clarification, I understand know why the warning exists in the first place. I think I didn’t expect it because I previously used Poetry which does not seem to output such kind of warning.

If I may, I would suggest to rephrase a bit the warning like so: latest available version for package P (x.y.z) could not be installed the specified Python version requirements. Instead, the latest version of that package that supports your Python range will be installed.

Can you submit a PR for this and I can review.
