Requirements are too strict

[Rizhiy]

I noticed that the package on pip specifies all requirements with exact versions.
This is quite annoying since it greatly increases probability of conflicts (which I now encountered).

Could you please relax the requirements? Ideally only specify the minimum version.

@Rizhiy I made a PR that should address these concerns. Please let me know if this is the change you were looking for.

[Rizhiy]

@jbonzo Yes, that looks great. Just check that it works with fresh install, in case some packages release breaking changes.

[Rizhiy]

@jbonzo Actually, I just checked the new version and it appears that you have mismatch of requirements.
During install requirements are taken from setup.py and requirements.txt appears useless.
Sorry for the confusion.

P.S. at present requirements.txt is not used for installation, maybe should get rid of it.

I have created a merge request: #38

[Rizhiy]

You should probably change to have a single source of requirements, since I see that your tox.ini uses requirements.txt while setup.py uses it's own.

P.S. here is a handy package to check how pip sees your requirements.

[jbonzo]

I don't believe we need to prune back to one document of requirements. This section suggests that requirements.txt and install_require server different purposes, where requirements.txt illustrates whats needed for a full working dev environment. Currently tox.ini is not a critical part of this repo, but it is used for development so I think its dependency on requirements.txt is desired.

Please let me know if you think I am misunderstanding these concepts.

[Rizhiy]

Yes, that is correct, although usually to avoid duplication one should inherit from another, e.g. requirements.txt can use -e . to include the package itself and minimal requirements.
Although I'm not sure whether tox can parse that.

I think the MR should resolve the issue, I will close it once package is updated on pip.
