Reason for pulp<2.2

[xiki-tempula]

So I was trying to use conda env during the CI and it seems that the inclusion of pulp<2.2 would force the conda to select the python version to be <3.8. I wonder if there is any reason for this pining? Thanks.

I have removed the pin and it seems Qforce could run fine in py3.8/3.9.

In the CI, I have had an example of running Qforce from xyz file all the way to topology file using the xtb engine https://github.com/selimsami/qforce/blob/05926698f4b30946164e2a080e914ab7bc23fc8d/qforce/tests/test_run_xtb.py. Which seems to show that Qforce could handle the pulp without the pin.

At the time the latest version of pulp was throwing errors (that I can no longer remember). If this is no longer the case, then it might be safe to remove it.

You specifically mentioned 3.8 and 3.9. Is it not working for 3.7?

@selimsami It is only working on 3.7, as pulp==2.1 require python<3.8.
