Unfortunately, pip, the obvious way, kind of sucks. So I use poetry, which seems to work nicely.

... except for the part where the dependency definition doesn't follow the latest approved PEP, and the default constraint with ^ add an upper limit that causes problems.

I moved to PDM.

Eh, by the time I get everyone on board and convert all of our repos, poetry will probably have support for the latest PEP.

Given the glacial pace I've been seeing, I would't be so sure... But understandable if you have many repos and need to reach consensus.

You can reduce some impacts adding explicit >= constraints instead of ^.

The thing is, things are working reasonably well right now, so updating to be in sync with the latest PEP isn't super impactful, whereas switching from requirements.txt -> poetry and pyproject.toml was a big change. So we'll probably switch eventually, but since we have over a dozen repos and several teams across timezones, it isn't a priority.

I'll certainly take a look though.
