If you want to install a specific version of a Python Package, then you can make use of the pip index version command to first know which all versions of the package are available.

How to install a specific version of a pip package
To install a specific version of a package, we make use of the pip install command followed by the package name and == then the version of the package that you want to install explicitly.
Syntax:pip install <package-name>==<desired-version>Example:
% pip install rumps==0.3.0
Collecting rumps==0.3.0
Downloading rumps-0.3.0.tar.gz (33 kB)
Installing build dependencies ... done
...
Installing collected packages: rumps
Attempting uninstall: rumps
Found existing installation: rumps 0.4.0
Uninstalling rumps-0.4.0:
Successfully uninstalled rumps-0.4.0
Successfully installed rumps-0.3.0
Now when I run the pip index version command, I see my installed version has changed to 0.3.0.
% pip index versions rumps
