Pydantic 2.0 Migration

[DustinMoriarty]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Pydantic has made major breaking changes with 2.0. They have made a good migration guide. However, migration will require some work. Keeping pydantic at 1.* will prevent other libraries which have migrated to pydantic 2.0 from using elementary. We would like to include elementary as a dependency for one of our projects. However, I don't want to be prevented from upgrading Pydantic and everything else that uses Pydantic.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to know if there is a plan for Pydantic 2.0 migration and what the timeline looks like so that we can determine if we should include elementary in our project.

Describe alternatives you've considered
We have considered running Elementary in a separate python environment and calling it with the CLI only. However, this is a pretty messy solution.

Some as time allows.

Any progress on this by chance? This is increasingly going to be a deal breaker.

Also curious about any updates on this!

I'm seeing two closed/reverted PRs:

• Test update pydantic - not for merge! #1006
• Revert "Ele 1696 upgrade pydantic" #1166

and two stale PRs:

• feat: [NO-JIRA] - Bump Pydantic version from 1.X to 2.X #1005
• Bump pydantic dependancy #1069

Is there a reason why the change was rolled back?

Hi all,
Since this issue was last active, we added compatibility support for both pydantic v1 and v2, so either version can be installed without an issue.

Thanks,
Itamar
