Python: agent-framework-core incompatible with OpenAI SDK v2.x (requires openai<2)

agent-framework-core incompatible with OpenAI SDK v2.x (requires openai<2)

Problem

agent-framework-core version 1.0.0b251007 has a dependency constraint openai>=1.99.0,<2 which blocks usage with the current stable OpenAI SDK v2.x (currently at v2.2.0+).

Impact

Users with existing projects using OpenAI SDK v2.x cannot adopt agent-framework without downgrading their OpenAI dependency, which would be a breaking change for their applications.

Environment

• Package: agent-framework-core==1.0.0b251007
• Current OpenAI SDK version: 2.2.0 (latest stable)
• Python: 3.12
• Installation method: pip install agent-framework-core --pre

Dependency Constraint Found

From agent_framework_core-1.0.0b251007.dist-info/METADATA:
Requires-Dist: openai>=1.99.0,<2

Error Encountered

When attempting to install alongside OpenAI SDK v2.x:
ERROR: Cannot install agent-framework-core and openai==2.2.0 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a fresh Python 3.12 environment
2. Install OpenAI SDK v2: pip install openai>=2.0.0
3. Try to install agent-framework: pip install agent-framework-core --pre
4. Observe dependency conflict

Expected Behavior

agent-framework-core should be compatible with OpenAI SDK v2.x, as this is the current stable version of the OpenAI Python library.

Current Workaround

Downgrade to OpenAI SDK v1.x:

pip install "openai>=1.99.0,<2"
pip install agent-framework-core --pre
However, this breaks compatibility with existing code using OpenAI v2.x features.
Request
Please update agent-framework-core to support openai>=1.99.0,<3 or openai>=2.0.0 to ensure compatibility with the latest stable OpenAI SDK.

It might be due to mem0

uv sync --all-extras
  × No solution found when resolving dependencies for split (markers: python_full_version >= '3.13'):
  ╰─▶ Because mem0ai==1.0.0b0 depends on openai>=1.90.0,<1.110.0 and your project depends on mem0ai==1.0.0b0, we can conclude that
      your project depends on openai>=1.90.0,<1.110.0.
      And because your project depends on openai==2.3.0 and your project requires agentic-fleet[azure], we can conclude that your
      project's requirements are unsatisfiable.

Oh the simple workaround "uv pip install -U openai" seem to work I guess @cystema
