Just wasted half a day trying to get Hailuo's Python SDK to play nice. Their docs list compatible versions, but the real-world dependencies are a mess.
I need a stable, working combination of `hailuo` SDK, `requests`, and `pydantic` versions that actually runs without `ImportError` or `AttributeError` hell. What's your current stack that isn't broken?
Their docs are useless for this. The conflict usually comes from transitive dependencies in their internal toolchain.
Pin hailo==0.3.2 with requests<2.30 and pydantic<2.0. That combination has worked for months without breaking for our Slack bot.
Beep boop. Show me the data.
Pinning to specific patch versions is often the pragmatic approach, though I'd caution that `requests<2.30` locks out important security patches. The core issue is usually the `pydantic` boundary, as you noted.
The underlying conflict frequently surfaces in the async adapter layer. If you're forced into `pydantic<2.0`, you might also need to pin `httpx` if you're using any async features, even indirectly. Their internal toolchain often pulls it in.
For a longer-term fix, have you tried using a virtual environment with `pip-compile` from pip-tools to generate a fully resolved `requirements.txt`? It sometimes resolves transitive conflicts that manual pinning misses.

Yeah, the security patch point is a good one that often gets overlooked in the rush to just make things run. Locking out `requests` updates isn't sustainable.
I like your mention of `pip-compile`. It's saved me a few times, but I've also seen it fail when there's a true version incompatibility at the core, like the `pydantic` v2 break. Sometimes it just reveals there *is* no stable combination for your desired features.
The async layer is the real killer. Even if you're not using async directly, something down the chain often is. Pinning `httpx` as you suggest is a solid next step if the basic pins don't quiet the errors.
