Hi,

I use py2cflash and pyspiflash for my project https://gitlab.com/expliot_framework/expliot
The installation is breaking now. I checked both pyi2cflash and pyspiflash. pyftdi version in setup.py INSTALL_REQUIRES recently changed and seems to be causing pyftdi installation failure. Tried in a fresh installation (new machine/first install). Can you please let me know if its something else?

Hi Emmnuel!
I'm a part of the EXPLIoT framework team - https://gitlab.com/expliot_framework/expliot
EXPLIoT depends on Pyspiflash and Pyi2cflash (and pyftdi)
After your latest release for both (Pyspiflash and Pyi2cflash), the installation of EXPLIoT (latest code) has started to fail because of pyftdi version conflict. The reason we figured out is that the python resolver is not able to resolve pyftdi version for pyi2cflash, given that it installs the latest version of pyftdi during the installation of pyspiflash (which happens before pyi2cflash)

1. pyi2cflash v0.2.1 dependecy - 'pyftdi >= 0.42, < 0.50'
2. pyspiflash v0.6.2 dependency - 'pyftdi >= 0.42, < 0.51'

Please note that manual installation of both the packages works fine

1. First pyspiflash and then pyi2cflash
   Pip in this case resolves correctly to pyftdi version that satisfies both (Pyspiflash and Pyi2cflash) requirements

My OS: Ubuntu-18.04.4 (64 bit)

Solutions:

1. It would be best if you can update both with the same pftdi version range dependencies until python/pip resolvers fix the issue.
2. Temporary solution for us would be to use <0.6.2 pyspiflash dependency as we update our dependency versions in our setup.

We would prefer to have the latest version for both. Request you to kindly us know what you think

Please find below the error during EXPLIoT installation (latest code):

The pinning of pyftdi is currently blocking the installation of pyi2cflash in Fedora as we already ship pyftdi-0.51.0. This was fixed in https://github.com/eblot/pyi2cflash/tree/d5af6795df15a0619a802fe0bc033942a3be713e.

Could you please publish a new release? Thanks.
