I have an unpinned dependency in a

requirements.txt

and then an exact version pinning for said dependency in a

constraints.txt

- however when I go to generate my lockfile it's telling me that there are dependency conflicts. Am I misunderstanding what the constraints file does? I would've assumed it would just grab the version of the dependency specified in the constraints file.

It should behave just like a pip constraint file (at the end of the day it gets passed to

pip -c

) But pip's error messages when reqs+constraints+binaryness are not great.
