URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/32842

   ### What happened?
   
   Hello,
   
   apache-beam cannot be installed on any recent python environment because it 
is pinning an old version of dill from 2019.
   
   ```
   pip install apache-beam>=2.57.0
   ...
   The conflict is caused by:
       apache-beam 2.59.0 depends on dill<0.3.2 and >=0.3.1.1
   ```
   
   I have noticed apache-beam 2.57.0+ is required to allow pyarrow 15+, which 
is required by other recent tools/libraries.
   
   It is impossible to install apache-beam on a recent python environments 
because all releases of `apache-beam` are pinning `dill==0.3.1.1`
   dill 0.3.1.1 was released in September 2019, it's extremely old. the latest 
python version at the time was python 3.7.
   for reference the dill package did not provide official python wheel 
packages before v0.3.4 in June 2021. It needs custom compilation to be used.

   Could you please remove the pinning of dill?
   Correct to `dill>=0.3.1.1` in this file 
   https://github.com/apache/beam/blame/master/sdks/python/setup.py#L348
   
   The old comment is incorrect by the way. It was an early release 6 years ago 
when that comment was written. The serialization has stabilized since then.
   ```
             # Dill doesn't have forwards-compatibility guarantees within minor
             # version. Pickles created with a new version of dill may not 
unpickle
             # using older version of dill. It is best to use the same version 
of
             # dill on client and server, therefore list of allowed versions is
             # very narrow. See: 
https://github.com/uqfoundation/dill/issues/341.
             'dill>=0.3.1.1,<0.3.2',
   ```
   
   Regards.
   
   P.S. I am picking priority 1 total loss of function rating for the ticket, 
as being unable to install and use apache-beam is a total loss of function.
