Instructions

• In the setup.py metadata, please remove the asterisk on the pandas version requirements.

Hi, any updates on this issue?

[DrShushen]

Dear @GabrielGimenez - this is affecting quite a lot of people, and the open source projects that I maintain, e.g.

• https://github.com/vanderschaarlab/autoprognosis
• https://github.com/vanderschaarlab/synthcity

Any chance this could be fixed in the next version, it seems to be a very simple fix in the setup configuration?

Let us work on maintaining a vibrant open source ecosystem together :pray:

[GabrielGimenez]

@DrShushen That's still happening? We are using poetry to manage the dependencies now and the pandas dependency doesn't have the "*" anymore.

Please let me double check this, will get back to you in a moment

Ah @GabrielGimenez - I see what happened. You updated python requirement to 3.9+, and I was using a 3.8 environment. On python 3.9 it pip installs just fine now (xgbse version 0.3.1). I will update dependencies and setup config in the libraries I maintain to resolve this. Thank you for resolving that issues - xgbse is a great library

So this can be closed now, I think
