PyHIST hard dependency on pixman version 0.36.0 #27

Closed juanfranciscomorales closed 2 years ago

juanfranciscomorales commented 3 years ago

Hello,

We are trying to install PyHIST in our cluster, however we are not able to do it because of a hard dependency on pixman version 0.36.0. We are wondering why this hard dependency on an older pixman version exists and if it can be upgraded to the latest version.

Thank you in advance,

Francisco

Hi Francisco, PyHIST depends on OpenSlide (which depends on pixman), and at some point there were issues with specific pixman versions (0.38 if I recall correctly) that prevented SVS regions from loading properly (see for example here). Version 0.36.0 was not affected by this issue and that's why it was included as a hard dependency. Although I have not tried with the newer version yet, it seems that it should work fine.
