When I run the following install (pip install -r requirements.txt), I get a clash telling me that rasa-nlu expects coloredlogs 9.0 but that 10.0 is installed; a similar issue happens with packaging. The thing is, I did this with a fresh virtual environment and all I did was install rasa-core and rasa-nlu to the current latest versions (core : 0.13.0, nlu : 0.14.1). I am listing my requirements below.

This doesn’t seem problematic for us now because coloredlogs is about coloring logs in the terminal and packaging is about (I think, correct me if I am wrong) unit tests, but we are not doing those yet. But the red error with package versions clashing is definitely not comfortable. How could this be fixed?

tensorflow==1.12.0   
numpy==1.16.0   
setuptools==39.1.0 \ sklearn\_crfsuite==0.3.6   
elasticsearch-dsl==6.3.1   
msgpack==0.5.6   
spacy==2.0.12   
coloredlogs==10.0   
future==0.16.0   
packaging==18.0   
rasa\_core==0.13.0   
rasa\_core\_sdk==0.12.1   
rasa\_nlu==0.14.1
