Julia 1.12.0 issues due to OpenSSL constraints

[MilesCranmer]

Affects: Both

Describe the bug
It seems like the just-released Julia 1.12.0 is causing OpenSSL compatibility issues.

Here is a CI run output for PySR this morning: https://github.com/MilesCranmer/PySR/actions/runs/18336878040/job/52222871083

@cjdoris any guesses what this is from? Is the OpenSSL_jll constraint required?

[MilesCranmer]

Related to #613?

[cjdoris]

Argh yes this is making all the tests fail.

Indeed #613 introduced this feature. It is to ensure that Julia does not expect a version of libopenssl newer than what is actually provided by Python.

Looks like the GitHub runners have Python with libopenssl 3.0 (the previous LTS for openssl) whereas Julia 1.12 has upgraded to use 3.5 (the new LTS). I think that if you install Python from conda-forge instead then you'll get a newer openssl and all will be fine.

The underlying issue is that juliapkg selects the Julia version and THEN resolves Julia packages. But in this case we need to restrict the Julia version to <1.12 based on the package deps. Should be a simple fix, I'll do that now.

[MilesCranmer]

Thanks for the quick fix!

[cjdoris]

Just doing some upstream testing now but hopefully it's OK now.

[cjdoris]

OK yes this appears to be working as intended.

Is Julia 1.12 support planned?

EDIT: Okay it seems to work fine with something like
juliapkg.json

{
    "julia": "1.12",
    "packages": {
        "MyLib": {
            "uuid": "...",
            "path": "../..",
            "dev": true
        },
        "OpenSSL_jll": {
            "uuid": "458c3c95-2e84-50aa-8efc-19380b2a3a95",
            "version": "3.5"
        }
    }
}

and pyproject.toml (using uv)

[project]
name = "runwaylib-python-test"
version = "0.1.0"
requires-python = ">=3.14"
dependencies = [
    "juliacall",
    "numpy",
    "pyopenssl>=24.0.0",
]
