cdktf provider add fails with "no matching distribution found" for the AWS provider version

TL;DR

Install the provider package directly: pipenv install cdktf-cdktf-provider-aws (or pip install cdktf-cdktf-provider-aws==[version]), instead of going through cdktf provider add for that version.

The error

Running cdktf provider add "aws@~>4.0" fails because pip reports no matching distribution for the resolved version (e.g. v9.0.36).

Fix it

1. Skip cdktf provider add for this provider.
2. Install the pre-built Python provider package directly: pipenv install cdktf-cdktf-provider-aws or pin it: pip install "cdktf-cdktf-provider-aws==[version]".
3. Run cdktf synth and confirm the AWS constructs resolve.

Expected result: synth succeeds with the AWS provider available.

When to use this

• cdktf provider add "aws@~>4.0" (or similar) fails with "no matching distribution found"
• You use Python and want the pre-built provider

When NOT to use this

• The failure is a network/proxy error rather than version resolution
• You use TypeScript (use npm and @cdktf/provider-aws)

Root cause

cdktf provider add resolves a provider version and then shells out to the language package manager; when the resolved version has no published artifact for that language (a release-skew window), the install fails. Installing the package directly lets you pick a version that actually exists on PyPI.

Edge cases

• Pin the version in your Pipfile/requirements so CI does not re-resolve to the missing one.
