Is there a pdm equivalent to pip's --no-cache-dir flag?

Running into some issues with mysqlclient, which can be easily fixed by using:

pip install --no-cache-dir mysqlclient

Is there a way to do this in pdm?

exact same problem here... Homebrew upgraded mysql for me while installing something else and now mysqlclient is broken

have deleted my virtualenv and reinstalled but I the same errors afterwards, feels like I probably need to force pip to recompile or whatever, not clear how to do this in a pdm project though

[anentropic]

if your venv is in the default pdm location you can fix this by:

.venv/bin/python -m ensurepip
.venv/bin/python -m pip uninstall mysqlclient
.venv/bin/python -m pip install --no-cache-dir mysqlclient

However, if you subsequently rm -rf .venv and pdm install then the problem will come back ☹️

alternative fix that is better(worked for me):

rm -rf .venv
pdm cache clear
pdm install
