Please unpin dependencies #46
Description
Please unpin python dependencies from pkg==ver to the usual pkg=>ver.
For instance the pinning of catboost in requirements.txt to an obsolete version 0.20.2 causes pip to downgrade this package after installing deeptables and our CICD scripts concludes that catboost needs an upgrade, leading to unnecessary rebuild of our python containers during every version check, i.e. every hour.

As you see from the log above, the other GBDT dependency, lightgbm, does not cause this issue (even though it is pinned to a previous version 3.0.0 on our side), because it is not pinned in your requirements file here.
