This PR resolves installation failures when setting up the Unit 2 hands-on exercise requirements. The current
pickle5
dependency causes build errors on Python 3.8+ since the package is no longer needed for modern Python versions.pickle5
is no longer required for Python >= 3.8 and Google Colab already runs Python 3.10+.Yet, in case a student decides to do the hands-on exercise locally instead of doing it in Colab and happens to have a Python version older than 3.8, the code works just as fine.
Approach:
pickle5; python_version < "3.8"
