Relevant log output

ERROR: Cannot install ciscoconfparse2==0.7.74 and netmiko==4.5.0 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    ciscoconfparse2 0.7.74 depends on pyyaml==6.0.1
    netmiko 4.5.0 depends on pyyaml>=6.0.2

To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

Hello, this is not a bug; it's simply an incompatibility and you should file the issue with netmiko because version 0.7.74 was out long before netmiko 4.5.0.

The workaround is to use netmiko < 4.5.0.

Please see version 0.7.77 for the latest compatibility changes.
