version requirements are pretty strict #17

Closed gmabey closed 8 months ago

gmabey commented 8 months ago

Hello,

It looks to me like the version requirements you impose:

Jinja2==3.1.2
Markdown==3.4.1
protobuf==4.21.6
lunr==0.6.2

are pretty strict, in that they only allow for a single version to be used instead of a >= range. Also, are you convinced that it will only run on python 3.11 or should 3.10 work?

I ask because I try to use fpm https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm to generate .deb files of pypi packages as an alternative installation method, and that isn't working out for me very well just yet.

Hi @gmabey, Thanks for the comment! This is the first Python package I maintain, so I wasn't sure what the usual pattern is. Is it more typical to specify package ranges? I guess I could change all of these to enforce only the major version.

For the Python version, there is one specific reason for needing at least 3.11, and that's the usage of tomllib, because that was added to the base library in 3.11.
