What were you trying to do that didn't work?

insatall lxml 5.2.1 via pip

Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

python3-pip-9.0.3-24.el8

How reproducible: always (but lxml may upload different wheels in the future)

Steps to reproduce

1. yum install python3-pip
2. pip-3.6 install lxml==5.2.1

Expected results

Downloading lxml-5.2.1-cp36-cp36m-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.manylinux2014_x86_64.whl
(and not building lxml from source)

Actual results

Downloading lxml-5.2.1.tar.gz
(and building lxml from source)

Note that this works as expected with Python 3.9+

Also note that the pip wheel from upstream Python 3.6 probably does not support this manylinux version either. However, I can do this on Fedora to update pip to 21.3.1 even on Python 3.6:

$ python3.6 -m venv venv3.6
$ venv3.6/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
$ venv3.6/bin/pip install lxml==5.2.1
Collecting lxml==5.2.1
  Downloading lxml-5.2.1-cp36-cp36m-manylinux_2_28_x86_64.whl (4.8 MB)
Installing collected packages: lxml
Successfully installed lxml-5.2.1
