Proposal
Accept pytorch version 2 when python >3.7.
Updating this also made me realise that this repo is affected by microsoft/debugpy#1246, so I have pinned poetry to fix.
Motivation
I want to support pytorch version 2 in TransformerLens so I can support MPS (M1 GPU acceleration) but can't because of the range restriction on CircuitsVis's pytorch dependency.
Pitch
Pytorch is pinned to ^1.1.
In Poetry dependency specification, the caret symbol
^
prevents the left-most non-zero digit in the dependency version number from being modified. In our case this prevents users from updating to PyTorch 2.0. This limitation will restrict CircuitsVis' user base, as users will want to use both PyTorch 2.0 and CircuitsVis in their projects. There's a related discussion in TransformerLens.Pytorch 2 requires python >3.7 so we can only bump the dependency for users in this version range.
