Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating ipykernel’s dependency metadata and the debugpy requirement, then verify the installation behavior for the affected Mac environments. Done means the dependency avoids debugpy 1.6.5’s missing wheels without breaking installation.

Description

Crosspost from https://github.com/microsoft/debugpy/issues/1187

Poetry is a python package manager. debugpy release 1.6.5 a couple days ago, and recently ipykernel made debugpy a dependency in 2021. Unfortunately debugpy 1.6.5 does not have wheels for many Mac laptops (see link above).

I suggest pinning debugpy to 1.6.4 or kindly asking them to build more wheels :).

Big thanks!
