Is there a way to manage multiple module version within python3.7

Question

I have a requests module version 2.24.0 but I also want to install snowflake-connector-python which requires requests version 2.23.0 or lower. Is there a way to manage these two version in my project without downgrading?

I have seen examples like below which is trying to manage within the file where a different request version is needed import pkg_resources; pkg_resources.require("requests==2.23.0"); import pkg_resources; pkg_resources.require("requests==2.23.0");

but getting error:

> File "/Users/../.venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py",
> line 791, in resolve
>     raise VersionConflict(dist, req).with_context(dependent_req) pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (requests 2.24.0
> (/Users/../Projects/../.venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages),
> Requirement.parse('requests==2.23.0'))

Please note: I am using virtual environment.

Answer 1

There is no way to manage two different versions of a package within the same Python environment. If snowflake-connector-python is requiring requests 2.23.0 or lower then you'll have to downgrade to requests 2.23.0 or lower in your virtual environment.
