When updating dependency version constraints in requirements files, ensure consistency with versions pinned by other dependencies in your project. Check what versions are used by major dependent packages before setting your own constraints to avoid compatibility issues.
When updating dependency version constraints in requirements files, ensure consistency with versions pinned by other dependencies in your project. Check what versions are used by major dependent packages before setting your own constraints to avoid compatibility issues.
For example, if a dependency like Starlette already pins a specific version range for a shared dependency:
# Instead of setting arbitrary version constraints:
anyio[trio] >=3.2.1,<5.0.0
# Check what related packages require and align with them:
anyio[trio] >=3.6.2,<5.0.0 # Aligned with Starlette's requirements
This practice prevents dependency conflicts, reduces troubleshooting time, and ensures your configuration files maintain a coherent dependency strategy across the project.
