-----------------------------------
Summary: Loosen Typing Extensions Requirement
Key: BEAM-12731
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-12731
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Task
Components: beam-community
Reporter: Mehdi Drissi
The current beam python package requirements are very strict for typing
extensions package
[here|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/31f81bcac762211beb58d3d383f26565e95999f7/sdks/python/setup.py#L157].
The requirement only allows 3.7 and doesn't allow minor updates like 3.8 or
current 3.10. The typing extensions package is pretty stable and is mainly used
to add new type hint features from recent peps. As the changes are almost all
additive it should be safe to have looser requirement and at least be just
>3.7. The current tight restrictions means using beam as a library blocks me
from using newer type hint features. Could we loosen the requirement?
I've made a small pull request for it here,
https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/15233.
