Why This Matters
By collecting real-world examples, we can better understand when and why the resolver goes too deep and improve Pip's behavior.
Thank you for helping us make Pip better!
Alternative Solutions
If you need a solution right now you might want to try uv which has a uv pip interface that is similar to pip with a powerful resolver, but there are some compatibility differences.
