latest ortools breaks populationsim so we froze the required package version about populationsim HOT 6 CLOSED

For the time being, after running pip install populationsim, run the following command:

pip install ortools==7.4.7247

from populationsim.

This seems to be related to google/or-tools#1874

The latest version of ortools has some uncompiled binaries that require the VS C++ redistributable extra be installed on Windows 10.

Is this going to be the case for all the following versions? In my case, I don' think I could ship my code with this additional requirement.

@fpnick I think you meant to comment on google/or-tools#1874! PopulationSim would prefer not to ship with this requirement either! 😅

No, I did mean to comment here, I thought you knew more details about this :D

My issue over there was closed, so I don't have big hopes that they'll get rid of that again...

@fpnick Hoping they include all the precompiled stuff in future releases! Looks like the documentation has been updated to include the VS C++ installation though, so there's a possibility they'll leave this dependency around for a while :/
