stagingbranch, NOT againstmainDescription
I noticed that many backend dependencies were specified with a wildcard
*in the Pipfile. This could lead to situations where we install dependencies that are way out of sync with what we intend. For example, next time someone installs something withpipenv install <package>, pipenv would runpipenv lockthenpipenv sync. This could lead to some unintended changes, like another dependency being bumped by a major version.In this PR, we pin dependencies at the minor level. This means we'll get security updates when we pip install, but we'll stay stable at the minor level unless we intentionally increment the version.
I used the dependency versions currently in the lockfile to come up with what's now in the Pipfile.
Eventually, we should probably even pin to the patch version and manage dependency updates through Dependabot, when that's able to be re-enabled (see #1012)
Type of change
How Has This Been Tested?
This has not been tested thoroughly, though I hope this is more or less a "noop", since my intent is only to pin versions in the Pipfile to match what's present in the lockfile.
