Find alternative to dependency-injector framework

[febus982]

The project is not actively maintained except for urgent requirements: ets-labs/python-dependency-injector#742

Once python 3.12 is released it will pin pydantic to v1, making the package incompatible (ets-labs/python-dependency-injector#765 ets-labs/python-dependency-injector#752)

Potential candidates (https://github.com/sfermigier/awesome-dependency-injection-in-python)?

Pydantic v1 will be pinned only for tests. It's not a dependency od dependency-injector. It doesn't mean you can't use it with Python 3.12.

Thanks for specifying this @macieyng I updated the issue description in case anyone stumbles on this. (This makes this issue a little less urgent to fix at least)

Unfortunately despite this, it looks like there is not much time to maintain bugs, apart from urgent requirements (from ets-labs/python-dependency-injector#742 (comment)). Before python 3.12 support the last commit was almost a year ago.

A shame, because I truly love the framework (I'm not a C developer or I'd contribute to some of them).

I use only a minimal subset of the functionalities the framework provides, it might be easier to simply rewrite them in python.

The package now supports python 3.12, however this issue will remain open because I'd like to switch to a system that allows binding dependencies to class interfaces (ABC or Protocols), not only to string names.
