Do not pin package tzdata anymore

[stollero]

Hello everyone,

I think we can safely upgrade tzdata to newer versions and do not require a version pin, because it is just a timezone database.

This will help other projects upgrading their dependencies without running into dependency conflicts.

Thanks

I'm bit reluctant to allow this right atm. may be we can reach a consensus later. until then lets hold it.

Would really appreciate if Kombu wasn't dictating dependencies. Best practices for apps and libraries differ.

Using ==2025.2 claims "this library is known to not work with any other version" which is quite definitive (same goes for typing_extensions btw). Pandas is a good citizen and uses tzdata>=2022.7 for example.

^ Actually, there's an open issue #2277 about the pinning of typing_extensions

Pinning exact versions especially for libraries (rather than applications) doesn't work with Python's dependency management. It's a practice that comes from Javascript, which has an entirely different system. See https://iscinumpy.dev/post/bound-version-constraints/.
