Python Package Dependencies

Smarter Platform is a Python-Django micro-service application. Below is a list of the requirements and version pins for packages included in this environment. Note that we bump version pins on a monthly basis on the first of each month to our alpha branch. Version bumps follow the normal CI-CD workflow to arrive into the production environment, and that this takes an indertiminate amount of time before these ultimately arrive into the production environment. If you are developing your solution in Python then you can use this list to ensure that your development environment is in sync with the Smarter Platform.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# These packages run inside of the Docker app/worker containers.
# To the extent that you might have concerns about platform specific
# issues, you can refer to Dockerfile in the root of this repo.
