> ARIA plugins are isolated from one another, yet their dependencies may collide with Python packages installed in the general ARIA python environment.
> To avoid messing up the ARIA installation, when plugins are installed, a constraint file is used to limit changes to existing packages in the ARIA environment in the case of collisions.
> This could lead to a problem where a plugin gets successfully installed, but then is unable to run properly since some of its dependencies are set in the wrong versions.
> ARIA could detect these issues at plugin installation time, and alert the user about this issue.
> Note: This would not help in the case where changes to the environment are made after the plugin has already installed - However, since this would require a manual installation of Python packages to the general ARIA environment, it makes sense that the user making this installation be required to be responsible and avoid such collisions, or use a separate Python environment for this installation.
