piper let's you dynamically switch between different library versions using venvs.

Example

1. Create a venv with a library version incompatbile with your current environemnt

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install transformers=4.43

2. Dynamically switch in your code to it

from piper import with_venv

# ... code using your regular transformer version
with with_venv('./venv'):
    import transformers
    # do transfomer 4.43 work

# ... continue with code using your regular transformer version
