Strategy of dependencies in Python packages

[Henrik Skupin]

Hi all,

>From various projects including mozbase I know that we have hard
dependencies between different packages. Some days ago I stumbled over
the following article from Tarek Ziade:

So is that something which we should consider? It's kinda helpful if you
want to run your tool with a newer version of a library to proof its
functionality.

What do you think?

I'm not sure if I entirely understand. What's stopping you from doing
that (running a tool with a newer library version) right now? Could you
describe the workflow that you want to enable for one of your projects
with this versioning scheme?
