prompt: We are currently solving the following issue within our repository. Here is the issue text:
  --- BEGIN ISSUE ---
  Don't pin package dependencies in setup.py
  To be removed, once it is done: Please add the appropriate label to this ticket, e.g. feature or enhancement.
  
  **Is your feature/enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.**
  
  It is not considered good practice to pin package dependencies in setup.py (see additional context).
  
  For instance, I'm forced to downgrade certain packages by installing flair.
  
  **Describe the solution you'd like**
  
  Just list the abstract requirements in setup.py with less restrictive version bounds.
  
  **Additional context**
  
  See https://packaging.python.org/discussions/install-requires-vs-requirements/
