Request for fixing dependencies on major versions only

[michaelaye]

This is a request to trust the social contract of semantic versioning and not fix your dependencies on the minor but major version only.

Case in point is that a pip install just messed up my conda environment, because the package wasn't happy with my newer versions:

  Attempting uninstall: urllib3
    Found existing installation: urllib3 1.26.3
    Uninstalling urllib3-1.26.3:
      Successfully uninstalled urllib3-1.26.3
  Attempting uninstall: requests
    Found existing installation: requests 2.25.1
    Uninstalling requests-2.25.1:
      Successfully uninstalled requests-2.25.1
  Attempting uninstall: PyYAML
    Found existing installation: PyYAML 5.4.1
    Uninstalling PyYAML-5.4.1:
      Successfully uninstalled PyYAML-5.4.1
  Attempting uninstall: Click
    Found existing installation: click 7.1.2
    Uninstalling click-7.1.2:
      Successfully uninstalled click-7.1.2
ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
conda 4.9.2 requires ruamel_yaml>=0.11.14, which is not installed.
spicer 0.6.0 requires planetarypy>=0.7, but you have planetarypy 0.5.1 which is incompatible.
black 20.8b1 requires click>=7.1.2, but you have click 7.0 which is incompatible.

Thanks for this great tool!
