Unpin pandas dependency in refinitiv-data?

Currently refinitiv-data https://pypi.org/project/refinitiv-data/ has a pinned pandas dependency at 1.3.5, which is a few versions old.

Would it be possible to unpin that? It's forcing users to downgrade their pandas versions to use the library.

Thank you!

Thanks for reaching out to us.

I checked the setup.py file in the refinitiv-data package and found the following pandas dependency.

It depends on pandas version 1.3.5 or above.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Thanks @Jirapongse — you're correct. It's the numpy dependency which is capped at an out-of-date version — and then the pandas dependency is limited by that:

numpy = ">=1.11.0,<=1.23.4"

Would it be possible to uncap that?

Actually I misspoke again — upgrading refinitiv-data from 25 to 28 has let us upgrade pandas.

Numpy is capped, but not at a very old version (though we would prefer refinitiv to have the testing infrastructure to have confidence in raising the cap quickly!).

So the immediate question is answered. Thanks @Jirapongse !
