Since pip 20.3 will come out next month and the new resolver's behavior will be on by default, the pip team made a 2-minute video to explain what's up:

A new release of pip is out. Please see below, upgrade, and let us know if you or your 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.

Please report bugs using this survey:

...

.

And please **spread the word** by pointing to this blog post: https://blog.python.org/2020/07/upgrade-pip-20-2-changes-20-3.html -- spread the word on Hacker News, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Dev.to, Telegram, relevant Stack Overflow answers, your favorite Slacks and Discords, etc. Most of the people this will affect do not keep up with Python-specific developer news. Help them get the heads-up before October, and help us get their bug reports.

best, Sumana Harihareswara, pip project manager

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [pypi-announce] upgrade to pip 20.2 -- plus changes coming in 20.3 Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2020 11:24:58 -0400 From: Sumana Harihareswara Reply-To: distutils-sig@python.org Organization: Changeset Consulting To: pypi-announce@python.org

On behalf of the Python Packaging Authority, I am pleased to announce the release of pip 20.2. Please upgrade for speed improvements, bug fixes, and better logging. You can install it by running python -m pip install --upgrade pip.

We make major releases each quarter, so this is the first new release since 20.1 in April.

NOTICE: This release includes the beta of the next-generation dependency resolver. It is significantly stricter and more consistent when it receives incompatible instructions, and reduces support for certain kinds of constraints files, so some workarounds and workflows may break. Please test it with the `--use-feature=2020-resolver` flag. Please see our guide on how to test and migrate, and how to report issues < https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/user_guide/#changes-to-the-pip-dependency-resolver-in-20-2-2020>.

...

The new dependency resolver is *off by default* because it is *not yet ready for everyday use*.

For release highlights and thank-yous, please see https://blog.python.org/2020/07/upgrade-pip-20-2-changes-20-3.html . The full changelog is at https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/news/.

Future:

We plan to make pip's next quarterly release, 20.3, in October 2020. We are preparing to change the default dependency resolution behavior and make the new resolver the default in pip 20.3.
