BUG : RudderStack requirements.txt prevent projects from using python-dotenv 1.0.0 or later

[burgaard]

The Python SDK currently restricts python-dotenv to less than version 1.0.0:

python-dotenv>=0.21.0, <1.0.0

However, python-dotenv 1.0.0 was released over a year ago (Feb 23, 2023), and the latest version is 1.0.1.

From python-dotenv's change log https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md it seems there should be no issue for RudderStack to remove the upper limit, or bump it to, say, 2.0.0:

python-dotenv>=0.21.0, <2.0.0

@burgaard Thanks for reporting. We will be releasing the next version with the fixes.

This needs an urgent hotfix, it's causing dependency issues for so many projects depending on RudderStack SDK, because many projects use python-dotenv>=1.0.0

Note: No breaking changes in v1.0.0, it just was declared "stable"

Same issue here, please can someone fix this?

[itsdebs]

We have released v2.1.0 with the fix. Thank you for your inputs

@itsdebs I just tried upgrading to rudder-sdk-python 2.1.0, but I still get the same version conflict suggesting the updated requirement.txt didn't make into the package:

ERROR: Cannot install -r requirements.txt (line 89), python-dotenv==1.0.1 and rudder-sdk-python==2.1.0 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested python-dotenv==1.0.1
    pydantic-settings 2.2.1 depends on python-dotenv>=0.21.0
    rudder-sdk-python 2.1.0 depends on python-dotenv<0.22.0 and >=0.21.0

To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

@burgaard thank you for reporting this. Looking into it.

@itsdebs A new version has been released but the lib still requires python-dotenv<0.22.0

I think the setup.py was missing from the fix.

rudder-sdk-python/setup.py

Line 25 in 5dc0cb9

"python-dotenv>=0.21.0,<0.22.0",
