Absolute dependencies does not play well with other packages #209

Open littledot opened 6 years ago

littledot commented 6 years ago

The current list of dependencies are all absolute.

    'bintrees==2.0.7',
    'requests==2.13.0',
    'six==1.10.0',
    'websocket-client==0.40.0',
    'pymongo==3.5.1'

This makes it difficult to work with other packages that uses higher versions of the same dependency. For example, if a package uses requests-2.14.0, pip refuses to install.

Can we use flexible dependencies instead?

Can you use virtualenv instead?

madeddie commented 6 years ago

I use virtualenv but I also use 2 libraries in that venv, krakenex and gdax. krakenex has requests [required: <3,>=2.18.2 as dependency. So more flexible dependencies would be nice, especially if there's not reason to lock to a specific version.

carlomazzaferro commented 6 years ago

I agree, this is a pain.

For instance, I need six>=01.10 because of some other dependency. Further, I need a newer version of requests, to work with yet another library. I'm pretty sure this can be changed at no cost.

Any progress on this. I'm running Pipenv for virtual environement but I have another package that also requires pymongo >= 3.6.0 and can't have them both in the same virtualenv.

hi everyone, I have the same concern. It's been quite a while since the maintainers of this repo have merged any PRs (or even commented on them), so I forked this repo as a temporary solution (or permanent, depending if the maintainers of this one ever come back). Feel free to take a look:
