rdk upgrade conflicting dependency

[choman]

Describe the issue

While using pip to upgrade to the latest rdk (was rule development kit), there becomes a round-robin of conflicting
dependencies.

Currently on rdk==0.9 and awcli==1.27.62

When upgrading to rdk==0.15 (latest as of 2023-06-22), it complains that two dependencies versions are conflicting
for awscli

• boto3
• pyyaml

Naturally, one then upgrades awscli to 1.27.158. This resolves the boto3 issue, however this is where the round-robin
issue begins.

the latest rdk==0.15 requires pyyaml > 6.0
the latest awscli==1.27.158 requires pyyaml <5.5,>=3.10

Hi @choman, thanks for reaching out. Updating the pinned PyYAML version is something that has been requested in the past, and is on the team's radar. There is both a tracking issue and open PR for this. I'd encourage you to add your use case in one or both of those issues. In the meantime, the easiest workaround would be to update to AWS CLI v2, which does not use PyYAML, so you could use 6.0 to meet the RDK dependency. Hope that helps, and please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
