Description

When using an Azure Package Feed, poetry's dependency resolution fails to find the appropriate dependencies.

Azure Package Feed (APF) essentially acts as a PyPi mirror, allowing you to install directly from the package feed (as if you're installing from PyPi) but then provides the ability to block downloads of certain packages as well as add private packages to the repository.

Therefore, a common setup when using an APF is to use the feed as your "primary" source:

[[tool.poetry.source]]
name = "my-feed"
url = "https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/xxx/uuid/_packaging/my-python-feed/pypi/simple/"
priority = "primary"

When an install request reaches the APF, if the package hasn't already been used before, it will check PyPi for the package and copy it if it exists. The same is also true for new versions of packages.

Previously, the dependency resolution behaviour of PyPi and APF was identical. But now, more recent versions of certain packages no longer resolve correctly. Pydantic is maybe the best example of this.

Starting from Pydantic 2.7.0 (released 11/04/2024), poetry will no longer resolve the dependencies properly from an APF, but will correctly resolve them from PyPi. Example below:

Using APF as "primary"

(myvenv-py3.11):~/$ poetry debug resolve pydantic=="2.6.4"
Resolving dependencies... (1.1s)

Resolution results:

typing-extensions 4.11.0
annotated-types   0.6.0 
pydantic-core     2.16.3
pydantic          2.6.4 

(myvenv-py3.11):~/$ poetry debug resolve pydantic=="2.7.0"
Resolving dependencies... (0.1s)

Resolution results:

pydantic 2.7.0

Using PyPI as "primary"

(myvenv-py3.11):~/$ poetry debug resolve pydantic=="2.6.4"
Resolving dependencies... (1.1s)

Resolution results:

typing-extensions 4.11.0
annotated-types   0.6.0 
pydantic-core     2.16.3
pydantic          2.6.4 

(myvenv-py3.11):~/$ poetry debug resolve pydantic=="2.7.0"
Resolving dependencies... (0.5s)

Resolution results:

typing-extensions 4.11.0
annotated-types   0.6.0 
pydantic-core     2.18.1
pydantic          2.7.0

I'm not sure exactly what's caused this - if we look in the package entry in APF, the requirements are being listed correctly, they're just not being picked up by poetry:

Workarounds

Theoretically, one could use PyPi as the primary and then the APF as the supplemental, but this fundamentally defeats the purpose of using the APF in the first instance. It also leaves you open to various attack vectors.
