Support dev dependencies #38
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The problem occurs in ecmwf/earthkit-regrid#85, which tries to use a dev version of the mir-python dependency. The pyproject.toml contains this:
"mir-python>=1.27.1.dev20250627"
When the CI is running (workflow ci-python) it fails to build the env due to this error:
Using Python 3.13.1 environment at: /Users/cgr/venv/mir_install
× No solution found when resolving dependencies:
╰─▶ Because there is no version of mirlib==1.27.1.dev20250627 and mir-python==1.27.1.dev20250627 depends on mirlib==1.27.1.dev20250627, we can conclude that mir-python==1.27.1.dev20250627 cannot be used.
And because only mir-python<=1.27.1.dev20250627 is available and earthkit-regrid==0.4.1.dev44+gd78c1b6 depends on mir-python>=1.27.1.dev20250627, we can conclude that earthkit-regrid==0.4.1.dev44+gd78c1b6 cannot be used.
And because only earthkit-regrid==0.4.1.dev44+gd78c1b6 is available and you require earthkit-regrid, we can conclude that your requirements are unsatisfiable.
hint: `mirlib` was requested with a pre-release marker (e.g., mirlib==1.27.1.dev20250627), but pre-releases weren't enabled (try: `--prerelease=allow`)
The workflow is using this command for the installation:
uv build --sdist --no-sources
uv pip install dist/*
Interestingly, the same command without uv (so pip only) works. The following commands are also working:
pip install -e .
pip install mir-python==1.27.1.dev20250627
pip install mir-python>=1.27.1.dev20250627
