Version conflicts

[typiconman]

Running make customize leads to the following error message:

ERROR: Cannot install -r requirements.txt (line 25), -r requirements.txt (line 30), fontbakery==0.12.8 and freetype-py==2.4.0 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested freetype-py==2.4.0
    diffenator2 0.4.3 depends on freetype-py
    fontbakery 0.12.8 depends on freetype-py<2.4.0
    The user requested freetype-py==2.4.0
    diffenator2 0.4.3 depends on freetype-py
    fontbakery 0.12.8 depends on freetype-py<2.4.0
ERROR: ResolutionImpossible: for help visit https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/topics/dependency-resolution/#dealing-with-dependency-conflicts

To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

Please advise.

Something similar is happening to me:

The conflict is caused by:
drawbot-skia 0.5.1 depends on skia-python
drawbot-skia 0.5.0 depends on skia-python

If I remove drawbot-skia from my requirements I’m getting the following:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement skia-python; extra == "skia" (from blackrenderer[skia]) (from versions: none)

If you're on Python 3.13, we are waiting on new skia-python wheels to become available. That's why it can't install skia-python.

That's what I thought and I tried to use 3.11 but forgot to remove the already created venv 🤦. Thanks @simoncozens

@typiconman, you might be able to solve your problem by first removing the venv and then modifying the "venv" job in the makefile specifying an old Python version.
