Update dependencies for Python 3.12+ environment

[shivanraptor]

🚀 Feature

The current dependencies are too old. After checking, I found out that the following dependency package versions can be updated without affecting the functionality:

huggingface_hub 0.36 --> 1.6.0
jsonargparse 3.13.1 --> 4.46.0
numpy 1.26.4 --> 2.4.3
protobuf 4.25.8 --> 6.33.5

Motivation

Use of old dependency versions will cause other Python packages to break.

Alternatives

I am currenly using unbabel-comet by first installing the package, then re-install the newer versions specified above. The COMET package still works perfectly. Yet, this is not an optimal experience.

Additional context

Ubuntu 24.04, Python 3.12.6 (also happens in Ubuntu 22.04, Python 3.10.10)

Temporary Resolution:

Install the required dependencies first (listed below), then install COMET via:

pip install unbabel-comet --no-deps

(without dependencies)

Proven working on:

  colorama==0.4.6
  entmax==1.3
  huggingface_hub==1.6.0 				** conflict, COMET requires 0.36.2
  jsonargparse==4.46.0					** conflict, COMET requires 3.13.1	
  lightning-utilities==0.15.3
  lxml==6.0.2
  numpy==2.4.3 						** conflict, COMET requires 1.26.4
  portalocker==3.2.0
  protobuf==6.33.5						** conflict, COMET requires 4.25.8
  pytorch-lightning==2.6.1
  sacrebleu==2.6.0
  safetensors==0.7.0
  scipy==1.17.1
  sentencepiece==0.2.1
  tokenizers==0.22.2
  torchmetrics==0.10.3
  transformers==4.57.6

For training, I also had an issue with a more recent jsonargparse version. But for pytorch-lightning I get this error with v2.6.0 and v2.6.1 when running comet-train (yet it works when with all v2.5.x versions):

File ".../lib/python3.11/site-packages/comet/cli/train.py", line 92, in <lambda> 
    print(json.dumps(trainer_args, indent=4, default=lambda x: x.__dict__))
AttributeError: 'mappingproxy' object has no attribute '__dict__'. Did you mean: '__dir__'?`

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I encountered this issue with Python 3.10.20
