Thanks again for releasing togglwrapper.

While pinning all dependencies in CI is a good idea to avoid contributors having to deal with spurious version-upgrade problems as they're trying to contribute unrelated fixes, it's unfortunately a problem for applications, which need to upgrade their dependencies on a more regular cadence than togglwrapper maintenance has bandwidth for. There's always the possibility of a new version of requests breaking things, but that's really the responsibility of the requests maintainers to keep things working.

This distinction between setup.py and requirements.txt is somewhat subtle, but Donald Stufft tried to explain it in some depth here: https://caremad.io/posts/2013/07/setup-vs-requirement/

Separately from this PR, it might be good to get a (free!) account on Requires.io, turn on Dependabot which can automatically send you a PR when any of your Python dependencies upgrade, which will take care of both requirements.txt and test_requirements.txt for you.

Anything I can do to facilitate this getting merged?

As you can see here pypa/pip#988 (comment) pip has now merged their constraint-based dependency resolver, which means that this overly-strict constraint is eventually going to start breaking installs of things that use togglwrapper whereas it would previously only show a warning.

and TIL about the difference between the two (requirements.txt vs setup), thank you.

Thanks so much for the continued maintenance @aarose ! I know how hard it can be to make time for open source stuff particularly in this past year.

Do you have plans for a PyPI release soon?
