Install a python module ignoring version requirement

Question

Is there a way to use pip, easy install or any other method to ignore Python version requirements when installing a module?

I'd like to use the unofficial wheel for PySide2 with Python 3.6 despite it being for version 3.5 as my code has problems with 3.5.

Several issues with Visual Studio are making it impossible for me to compile everything from scratch.

(This is an old question, but still relevant--I was looking for the answer today.)

You can pass the parameter --ignore-requires-python to pip to override the Python dependency:

pip install --ignore-requires-python <library>
