I am currenlty working to integrate azureSQL to my website, but I am encountering this error that some of my packages require django version more than 4, others require version 2, what should I do?
this is the error I am getting :
ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
djangorestframework 3.15.2 requires django>=4.2, but you have django 2.1.15 which is incompatible.
django-cors-headers 4.4.0 requires django>=3.2, but you have django 2.1.15 which is incompatible.
I tried downgrading django version but that gave me the same problem but for other packages
2
If you’re trying to use packages that have conflicting Django version dependencies, there’s not much you can do to magically overcome that, you have to choose between one of the following:
- If possible, upgrade the package(s) that require
Django 2.xto a version that supportsDjango 4.2, while naturally also upgrading your installation toDjango 4.2 - If possible, downgrade the package(s) that require
Django 3.x/Django 4.xto versions that are compatible withDjango 2.xand continue usingDjango 2.1.15 - Get rid of either the
Django >=3.xpackages or theDjango 2.xpackages, and find an alternate solution (either custom functionality or look for different packages) for what those packages were giving you
Moving your code to Django 4.2 (or actually Django >=5.0, if you’re first having to take a bigger migration step) is the best bet going forward for a lot of reasons. Chances are that you can find other packages to replicate the functionality of the 2.x-packages – and if you can’t, that could be an indicator that the specific workflow they enable is not healthy anymore.
