When attempting to install pyusb v1.1.0 as a dependency offline, pip is unable to find a version for installation, which causes the install to fail.

Comments

I’m not sure if this is a setuptools_scm problem or a pyusb problem, but wanted to bring the issue to your attention as pyusb has switched to setuptools_scm.
