Important thread for Python users:

The Pip team is shipping a new dependency resolver and needs *your* help to find issues. Everyone who tries it will know their projects are future-proof and issues can be fixed before they're shipped. That's a win-win!

So how can you help?

– Upgrade to Pip 20.2:

$ python -m pip install -U pip

– If you have a project with many dependencies, pins, or hit packaging issues before, try reinstalling your dependencies with the '--use-feature=2020-resolver' flag:

$ python -m pip install --use-feature=2020-resolver (...)
