Removing pip<25.3 in constraints #195
Description
Private JIRA Ticket
https://2u-internal.atlassian.net/browse/BOMS-277
Summary
There is a breakage currently in pip-tools that failed several / many / all? python requirement upgrades: jazzband/pip-tools#2252 The temporary solution may be to pin pip to the last minor version, but it does look like a fix in on the way.
Findings
The error is stemming from the removal of the legacy setup.py bdist_wheel support in pypa/pip#6334 which removes the optional flag --use-pip517 that had been added for the support of deprecated legacy functionality.
Since all versions of pip-tools utilize this flag for the pip-compile command, the new version pip==25.3 is now breaking with all the versions of pip-tools hence the need to pin pip as a solution for this until pip-tools provide a workaround for this issue in their next release.
TODO
- Pin pip<25.3 in constraints
- unpin pip<25.3
