Critical: lumibot 3.18.2 dependency resolution fails due to yanked thetadata package

[carvalab]

Issue Description

The latest version of lumibot (3.18.2) cannot be installed due to a dependency resolution failure. The package depends on thetadata==0.9.11, but this version has been yanked from PyPI.

Error Details

× No solution found when resolving dependencies:
  ╰─▶ Because thetadata==0.9.11 was yanked and lumibot==3.18.2 depends on thetadata==0.9.11, we can conclude that lumibot==3.18.2 cannot be used.

Impact

• All users trying to install lumibot 3.18.2 will encounter this error
• CI/CD pipelines will fail when trying to install the latest version
• New projects cannot use the latest lumibot features
• Existing projects cannot upgrade to the latest version

Root Cause

The thetadata==0.9.11 package was yanked from PyPI (likely due to deprecation from the github repo), but lumibot 3.18.2 still has a hard dependency on this specific version.

yeah, same issue. i think thetadata was removed because they are going an API route..

With the last version 4.0.0, I have the same issue. How can you install the last version from zero?
I create a new venv, and use uv add lumibot

I force lumibot==4.0.0 with --frozen

uv run -m lumibot.example_strategies.stock_buy_and_hold

      And because your project depends on lumibot==4.0.0, we can conclude that your project's requirements are unsatisfiable.

If something has the same issue, only install uv add thetadata==0.9.11, and after, uv add lumibot, and all is fixed, but if possible, remove that from the code that was wonderful.

This issue is only for that, thank in advanced for awesome project.
