Support for redis > 5.0.x in pyproject.toml?

[epicwhale]

my codebase depends on redis ^5.0.1 and I'm unable to use the latest version of arq with it
redis = {extras = ["hiredis"], version = "^5.0.1"}

Because no versions of arq match >0.26.0,<0.27.0
 and arq (0.26.0) depends on redis[hiredis] (>=4.2.0,<5), arq (>=0.26.0,<0.27.0) requires redis[hiredis] (>=4.2.0,<5).
So, because ... depends on both redis[hiredis] (^5.0.1) and arq (^0.26.0), version solving failed.

Any chance the version pinning can support updates to the 5.0.x track rather than locking to 5.0.0?

Another comment on github requesting this for a slightly different reason: #441 (comment)

It seems that with 0.26 release, the <5 was added:

dependencies = [
    'redis[hiredis]>=4.2.0,<5',
    [...]
]

whereas 0.25 was:

dependencies = [
    'redis[hiredis]>=4.2.0',
     [...]
]

So I was also surprised to have a conflict this morning when I tried to upgrade from 0.25 to 0.26 !

Yeah, I'll third wanting this dependency changed! The dependency check for <5 also limits us to redis versions under 7, locking us out of the toys included in 7.2 or 7.4.

@d-qoi the 5 is the version of the redis-py library, not a requirement on the redis server.

You can use redis-py 5.x with Redis 7.x

But in your case, maybe redis-py 4.x has some limitations regarding Redis 7.x - in this case, you can start with arq 0.25 to bypass the issue (no issue with the combo arq 0.25/redis-py 5.0.x since 5.0.x upgrade last summer - even if first 5.0.x versions had some issues on async side but it's fixed for a while)
