Update dependencies to latest version

[koettert]

• Update Python library to at least 3.11 or whatever version is supported by KNIME
• LibPysal
• ...

1. The least Python version supported by KNIME is 3.11
2. In our previous dependencies it says numpy=1.23.5 #required to fix problem with latest version of numpy and curl=8.1.2 #required by libgdal which includes an older version with vulnerabilities, do have have the nodes with these problems. especially for curl. It's better to have these nodes and tested if they got fixed by least version of the package
3. conda doesn't have the least version of keplergl, it can be installed by pip and pip will install ipykernel, so we can remove ipykernel depandacy
4. Below is some of the least version packages we can get when specify curl and numpy version. This way we will still use the same version of geopandas, if you can use least version of curl, then we can use the least version of geopandas.

In general for now try to update as many dependencies as possible independent of the existing comments in the dependency file since they might no longer hold if we update the major dependencies.

In our previous dependencies it says numpy=1.23.5 #required to fix problem with latest version of numpy and curl=8.1.2 #required by libgdal which includes an older version with vulnerabilities, do have have the nodes with these problems. especially for curl. It's better to have these nodes and tested if they got fixed by least version of the package

For numpy we should update to the latest supported version and see if the nodes are still executing fine.

For curl the problem was that we couldn't update libgdal which had a dependency to a curl version with a security problem. However if we can update libgdal we should try to update curl as well to its latest version and check that this version has no known critical security problems.

The nodes affected by the updates,

• spatial weight
• spatial heatmap
• h3 create grid
• SLCP
• Buffer
• RoadNetworkDistanceMatrix

[wybert]

The spatial heatmap is a bug from folium, see python-visualization/folium#2098

[wybert]

The spatial weight can be fixed and could work on offline environment by removing the mock import.

For LocationAnalysis category. Most of the nodes has problems because of the pulp updates. Some thing like below,

These works well when pulp==2.7.0 but not with the latest version of pulp==3.0.2
