`django>=3.2.*` Version spec issue when installing ibm-db-django

[2kays]

Hi, I get the following error when trying to install ibm-db-django 1.5.2.0 via Poetry on Linux.

The complaint from Poetry appears to be that the django>=3.2.* version spec in settings.py's install_requires is syntactically invalid. Should it be something like django>=3.2 or django>=3.2.0 ?

@2kays we didnt face any issue with this syntax, anyhow as workaround you can install django manually before tyring to install ibm-db-django so setup.py skips installing django. In fee days I ill try fixing this issue.

I forked this morning and repointed Poetry at my fork. My build works with the change here: https://github.com/2kays/python-ibmdb-django/commit/3176d43f3c42383d8648cb7a339f026b60c7e53f

@2kays please continue, I ill fix it when I start working on to support Django 4.x

I just ran into this: The issue is newer versions of setuptools, I believe. Locally, I have 62.6.0, but in CI we have 67.3.1 (and updating to 67.7.2 did not resolve the issue).

@2kays I implemented my own fix before clicking on the link to your fix - I guess we agree :D

I think it has to do with the Python version you are using. It should be Python 3.10

Closing this as we addressed this , will be releasing new release shortly.
