Outdated requirement for python azureml-rag package

Question

Hi there,

I'm trying to use the azureml-rag package (with the extras azure and langchain) in the same project that I'm using the langchain package, but the most recent version of azureml-rag depends on tiktoken<0.6, whereas langchain depends on tiktoken>=0.7

I noticed that in the changelog of azureml-rag the requirement was supposedly loosened from ~=0.3.0 to <1 in version 0.2.8, but the package still requires <0.6 in version 0.2.36 nearly a year later. Please let me know if I'm missing something or, ideally, if the version requirement on the package can be updated.

Thank you!

Hello Covelli, Kevin,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

You're not missing anything; this is a known issue with the current versions of these packages. Your best bet is to either reach out to the maintainers for an update or manage the dependencies in a way that allows you to work around the conflict.

• Make sure you are using the latest versions of both azureml-rag and langchain. https://pypi.org/project/azureml-rag/ and https://pypi.org/project/langchain
• Use tools like pipenv or poetry to manage dependencies more effectively and might provide a solution to resolve version conflicts. https://pipenv.pypa.io/en/latest and https://python-poetry.org/docs
• Or contact the maintainers. https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/issues and https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/issues

I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions.
