ERROR: No matching distribution found for ansible\<2.16.0,\>=2.15.0

I have tried the following:

- Running `pip install ansible>=2.15.0,<2.16.0`
- Upgrading pip to the latest version
- Using a different package repository

I’m using the following system:

- OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Python: 3.10.\*
- Ansible: 2.9.2 (previously installed)

I’m not sure what else to try. Can anyone help me please?

Thanks,

Try to install the [ansible-core](https://pypi.org/project/ansible-core/#history) package rather than [ansible](https://pypi.org/project/ansible/#history) as that has the version you are after.

There is some explanation of the two packages on the [releases and maintenance](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/release_and_maintenance.html) page.
