uv pip install failes for wheel URLs with placeholder #8082
Description
I was following the vllm nightly installation guide where they have this one-liner for installing their nightly wheels:
pip install https://vllm-wheels.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/nightly/vllm-1.0.0.dev-cp38-abi3-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
Their documentation specifically says:
The version string in the wheel file name (1.0.0.dev) is just a placeholder to have a unified URL for the wheels. The actual versions of wheels are contained in the wheel metadata.
when using uv pip install I get:
error: Failed to install: vllm-1.0.0.dev0-cp38-abi3-manylinux1_x86_64.whl (vllm==1.0.0.dev0 (from https://vllm-wheels.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/nightly/vllm-1.0.0.dev-cp38-abi3-manylinux1_x86_64.whl))
Caused by: Wheel version does not match filename: 0.6.3.dev155+gf3a507f1.d20241010 != 1.0.0.dev0
but doing vanilla pip install works.
