micropython-umqtt.simple does not appear to be a Python project: neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found.

I am not able to install several different micropython modules in a virtual environment:

(venv) $ python3 -m pip install micropython-umqtt.simpleCollecting micropython-umqtt.simple
  Using cached micropython-umqtt.simple-1.3.4.tar.gz (4.0 kB)
ERROR: micropython-umqtt.simple from https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/bd/cf/697e3418b2f44222b3e848078b1e33ee76aedca9b6c2430ca1b1aec1ce1d/micropython-umqtt.simple-1.3.4.tar.gz does not appear to be a Python project: neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found.

I first tried it via Pycharm CE. Got the micropython plugin installed and when I go to packages in settings, I can see all the micropython packages I want for my project, such as umqtt.simple or ulogging, but there is always the same result when I try to install one: X does not appear to be a Python project: neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found. Next, I tried it in the terminal as shown above. Same result.

Any help much appreciated.

Hm... Are the micropython packages meant to be top level scripts instead of installable python-modules? micropython newbie...

MicroPython packages aren't meant to be installed or fetched with pip. That would only be for installing them to your PC (but most micropython packages are not useful to run directly in CPython -- although the ones that are will generally work with pip).

See https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/reference/packages.html for more info.
