Is this a good time to upgrade the outdated dependencies (including dev deps)?

I took a little liberty to add some improvements to the workflow. If you don't like it or want any changes, don't hesitate to leave feedback. 😄

• I changed the job name and added names to all steps
• I changed the workflow name
• I moved the permissions object to its respective job

I did not tested this workflow yet, it can be broken.

I'm getting some conflicts from the docs/requirements.txt dependencies. The ipython library needs Python 3.10+ but this project has support to Python 3.8. I'll wait any maintainer to answer how to proceed in this situation.

I wouldn't use Poetry for library packaging – it might be OK for applications, but I don't think it's the best fit for libraries.

Please also see #1658 for previous discussion.

Hi @bitterteriyaki, thank you for your efforts! We appreciate your contribution. Recently, the build process for the redis-py project was updated to use Hatchling as the backend build tool (PR #2930). Given this update, migrating to Poetry is not currently part of our planned changes. As a result, I’ll be closing this PR. Thanks again for your work!
