Can you provide a recent instance of this?  I feel like we have a
misunderstanding here.

We watch for this in requirements where everyday we update to the latest
co-installable dependencies[1] and gate on them.  If that passes it gets
merged into the repo and used by all projects.

Where we could do better is making the failures visible, and we're open
to suggestions there.

We have the following caps:
 cmd2!=0.8.3,<0.9.0;python_version<'3.0'  # MIT
 construct<2.9  # MIT
 Django<2;python_version<'3.0'  # BSD
 Django<2.1;python_version>='3.0'  # BSD
 django-floppyforms<2  # BSD
 elasticsearch<3.0.0  # Apache-2.0
 jsonpath-rw<2.0  # Apache-2.0
 jsonschema<3.0.0  # MIT
 PrettyTable<0.8  # BSD
 python-congressclient<2000  # Apache-2.0
 warlock<2  # Apache-2.0
 XStatic-jQuery<2  # MIT License

These of course do impact the dependencies that are considered
co-installable and we're working towards minimising this list.

You can see from[1] that the lates urllib is incompatible with botocore.
So we'll exclude that from the update and try again.  Meanwahile we'll
file a bug (Possibly a patch) in botocore to get the cap removed or
bumped.


Yours Tony.
