A new pip is out. Please see below, upgrade, and let us know if devpi users start to have trouble. In particular, we need your feedback on the beta of the new dependency resolver, because we want to make it the default in the October release.
We have a low-traffic, announce-only list to announce major changes to pip/PyPI -- subscribe at https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/pypi-announce.python.org/ .
Thanks for the heads up. I saw the announcement. Is there anything in particular that makes you think there could be issues with devpi? A quick scan of the changelog didn't bring anything up from my side. The dependency resolver is fully on the pip side with no involvement of devpi.

Great question. I should have said -- please try it out, and please ask devpi users to try it out and report problems. There is nothing in particular about the interaction of devpi and the new resolver that makes me expect problems. However, I figure that devpi *users* might have particular quirks in the packages they're making/sharing/installing (ones that are not available on PyPI), and that those quirks might lead to problems with the new resolver. And they need to know about the coming changes in what pip allows in constraints files. I'd like for those users to find out about dependency snarls and requirements glitches now, not in October, so we all have a chance to fix stuff (on their side and ours). Thanks, Sumana
