Is the best way to solve this to pin to older and older versions? This is a simple starter app just to illustrate concepts.

xero_python==1.5.3 is from 2021 and it is now on 7.x versions, why are we pinned to that?

I feel taking all the pins off the original requirements.txt is a better approach, or at least make them much more flexible. It's not the app that has changed, its the dependencies that have moved on.

Added a PR to just remove the pinned versions. That seems like the simplest way to solve this issue. It also has a greater likelihood of continuing to work over time as versions change.
