Bug: requirements.txt pins nonexistent versions of requests and python-dotenv, breaking fresh installs

[sahiee-dev]

Problem

pip install -r requirements.txt fails on a clean environment because two pinned versions don't exist on PyPI:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement requests==2.33.0
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-dotenv==1.2.2

Latest available versions at time of filing are requests==2.32.5 and python-dotenv==1.2.1. The pinned versions (2.33.0, 1.2.2) appear to be typos or were pinned against not-yet-released versions.

Repro

git clone https://github.com/interviewstreet/hiring-agent
cd hiring-agent
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Fails immediately on requests==2.33.0.

Fix

Bump both pins to the latest real releases:

- requests==2.33.0
+ requests==2.32.5
- python-dotenv==1.2.2
+ python-dotenv==1.2.1

Verified locally — installs cleanly and the rest of the pipeline runs fine with these versions.

The current latest requests version is 2.34.2 per https://pypi.org/project/requests/

I would check your Python and pip versions, those "latest available versions" are likely just the latest ones that are compatible with your current env
