Remove strict versioning from requirements.txt #53

Closed SergeySerj closed 4 years ago

SergeySerj commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I noticed I'm unable to add this library to my project via pipenv due to 'incompatible versions in the resolved dependencies' pipenv error. This happens because some library vendors sticks to strict versions in their requirements.txt file like this:

requests==2.20.0
requests-oauthlib==1.0.0

Therefore if one library needs requests==2.20.0 while another library needs requests==2.12.4 then pipenv would be unable to satisfy those conditions.

Could we have a more relaxed versions specification, like the next example?

requests>=2.20.0

The same goes for other libraries within requirements.txt.

Thanks.

Yeah, this is some legacy, I was not too skilled on Python (virtual)envs back when I started this library.

Will incorporate the tooling here I just released at https://github.com/Omenia/libcutter, maybe other test library developers can benefit from these as well. Moreover, striving to tackle some long-persisting issues in Python packaging - hopefully without totally reinventing wheel(s) but at the same time keeping the options open for pipenv and poetry as well. :+1:

pytz is also a candidate to not have a locked version requirement

also pygments:

restinstance 1.0.0 has requirement pygments==2.3.1, but you'll have pygments 2.4.2 which is incompatible.
restinstance 1.0.0 has requirement requests==2.21.0, but you'll have requests 2.22.0 which is incompatible.

Done in 1.0.2.
