Description

What's wrong with absl-py 0.13? This makes packaging on NixOS more difficult as it only has absl-py 0.13. Is it safe to relax this restriction?

Research direction

The issue identifies the absl-py <0.13 dependency restriction and its impact on NixOS packaging, but names no file or test. Start by locating where the dependency bound is declared and checking compatibility with absl-py 0.13. Done means determining whether the restriction can be safely relaxed and documenting or testing that decision.
