Can't install alongside tap-salesforce

[micaelbergeron]

This project depends on singer-python==2.1.4 but it seems the latest version is 5.1.1.

This cause a dependency conflict when installing alongside tap-salesforce which depends on singer-python==5.0.5

Are these projects complying to semver? Can we change the dependencies to be lenient of patch releases, using singer-python>=5.0.0?

Hey @micaelbergeron. It sounds like you are having issues due to conflicts in your environment. We recommend that you install each tap and target in a separate python environment as outlined here:

https://github.com/singer-io/getting-started/blob/master/docs/RUNNING_AND_DEVELOPING.md#running-a-singer-tap-with-a-singer-target

That being said, we could probably update the CSV targets version of singer-python but running in different environments will help when they become out of sync.

Thanks @briansloane, I will look into that.

The blessed way to run taps and targets is to run each from their own virtualenv. That helps avoid exactly this kind of conflict. Hopefully that resolved the immediate issue here.
