The alpha or beta release of pip with its new dependency resolver should
be out in May.
I just posted
https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2020/03/new-pip-resolver-to-roll-out-this-year.html
which discusses what is going to change in the pip resolver, when, and
how you can help (including some low-effort things you can do right now).
I didn't mention this in the blog post because ordinary Python users
shouldn't try it, but: As of right now, people who install pip from
GitHub master will have the ability to run `pip install
--unstable-feature=resolver` and test the new resolver code. And less
than half of the test suite fails! Expect errors and missing features,
but it’s there! [Celebratory trumpet honk here.]
Hope all of you, and all the people you are close to, are healthy and
staying that way.
