Dependency Resolution Issue with brick-tq-shacl When Installing buildingmotif[topquadrant] using uv

[metesaka]

When attempting to install buildingmotif with the topquadrant option using the uv environment manager, the following dependency resolution error occurs:

No solution found when resolving dependencies for split (python_full_version == '3.11.*'):
╰─▶ Because there is no version of brick-tq-shacl==0.3.3a3 and buildingmotif[topquadrant]==0.3.0 depends on brick-tq-shacl==0.3.3a3, we can conclude that buildingmotif[topquadrant]==0.3.0 cannot be used.
And because only buildingmotif[topquadrant]>=0.3.0 is available and your project depends on buildingmotif[topquadrant], we can conclude that your project's requirements are unsatisfiable.

This error appears to be caused by the dependency specified in pyproject.toml:

brick-tq-shacl = {optional = true, version="0.3.3a3"}

The only way I could resolve this issue was to manually add the dependency first using:

uv add brick-tq-shacl==0.3.3a3 --prerelease=allow
and then install buildingmotif with topquadrant.

Questions:

• Is there a specific reason for pinning brick-tq-shacl to version 0.3.3a3?
• Could this issue be avoided by updating the dependency to the latest version of brick-tq-shacl (0.3.4)?

I would appreciate clarification on whether this error is expected behavior or if the dependency version can be updated to improve compatibility. Thank you!
