Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked pyquil-for-azure-quantum pull request and the dependency constraint described in this issue. Done means the latest pyquil-for-azure-quantum and azure-quantum releases can be installed together without the reported conflict.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

azure-quantum

Problem

When doing a pip install for both latest releases of pyquil-for-azure-quantum and azure-quantum, PIP returns this error:

pyquil-for-azure-quantum 0.0.2 requires azure-quantum<0.26.0,>=0.25.218240, but you have azure-quantum 0.27.258449 which is incompatible.

Cause

The current 0.0.2 release of pyquil-for-azure-quantum does not work with new releases of the azure-quantum package because the current dependency constraint ^0.25.218240 effectively becomes <0.26.0,>=0.25.218240 and every month Microsoft creates a new release of azure-quantum that increments the minor version.

Fix

I submitted a PR to pyquil-for-azure-quantum with a potential fix: https://github.com/rigetti/pyquil-for-azure-quantum/pull/11
