'Cannot set up a conda environment with python 3.10

I am trying to set up a conda environment with python 3.10 installed. For some reason, no install commands for additional packages are working. For example, if I run conda install pandas, I get the error:

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - python=3.1

conda install -c conda-forge pandas doesn't work either. Not sure what the problem is.

conda anaconda3

Thats a bug in conda, you can read more about it here: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/10969

Right now there is a PR to fix it but its not a released version. For now, just stick with

conda install python=3.9

Adding an answer as this issue has been fixed in the latest conda update. I faced the same issue in conda version 4.10.1 but it worked fine in version 4.11.0.

Update conda to the latest version with

conda update -n base -c defaults conda

Now install the required packages.

conda install -n py310 python=3.10 works for me.

Conda 4.10 is incompatible with python 3.10.

To use python 3.10 or newer, you need to update to conda 4.11+. If you cannot update conda, you need to revert to python 3.9 or older.
