When does this happen?

IF When a Python library pins exact dependency versions in pyproject.toml, it forces downgrades of common packages and creates dependency conflicts.

How others solved it

THEN Use uv's override-dependencies in your pyproject.toml to override the exact pins with range-based constraints. For litellm versions >=1.83.1, add overrides for pydantic, openai, aiohttp, click, jsonschema, python-dotenv, and importlib-metadata using ranges that match the library's earlier compatible versions. Run `uv sync` to apply the overrides and resolve conflicts.

[tool.uv]
override-dependencies = [
    "pydantic>=2.5,<3",
    "openai>=2.8,<3",
    "aiohttp>=3.10",
    "click>=8.1",
    "jsonschema>=4.22,<5",
    "python-dotenv>=1.0",
    "importlib-metadata>=6.0",
]
