+Let's say you have a dependency on the package `foo` which is only compatible

 you would declare it like so:
 
 ```toml
 [tool.poetry.dependencies]
 foo = [
-    {version = "<=1.9", python = "^3.6"},
-    {version = "^2.0", python = "^3.8"}
+    {version = "<=1.9", python = ">=3.6,<3.8"},
+    {version = "^2.0", python = ">=3.8"}
