environment.yml: do not constrain 'python' to 3.8 #279

Closed phil-blain closed 2 years ago

phil-blain commented 2 years ago

The environment that conda (or mamba) creates from this file on Windows does not work; importing 'pythia_datasets' results in a cryptic error:

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing shell: The specified procedure could not be found.

It seems there is some incompatibility between 'pywin32', a dependency of 'jupyter_core' on Windows, and 'appdirs' (a dependency of pythia_dataset's dependency 'pooch'), at least under Python 3.8.

Fix this by lifting the version constrain on the 'python' package. This creates an environment with Python 3.10, where importing 'pythia_datasets' works correctly.
