Strict requirement on protobuf/toml versions?

[matthiasdiener]

Description

This came up in conda-forge/austin-python-feedstock#13 . Currently, austin-python has quite strict requirements on the versions of the protobuf and toml packages (from pyproject.toml):

  "protobuf~=3.12.2",
  [...]
  "toml~=0.10.2",

Are these versions required, or can we use newer versions of protobuf and toml?

Thanks for reporting this @matthiasdiener . This is an interesting question. For toml I believe we can relax the pin, to the point where we can remove it entirely starting with 3.11. The protobuf dependency is only really needed for the tool that comes with the library, so that could be pushed into extras perhaps.
