 * (or {@link FluentFuture#transform(com.google.common.base.Function, Executor)
 * FluentFuture.transform}), but you will often find it easier to use a framework. Frameworks
 * automate the process, often adding features like monitoring, debugging, and cancellation.

     * @param externalRepositories The external (and already mirrored) repositories to merge into the result list, may

that would mean that you would use the versions `0.112.0` or above, but less than `0.113.0`, for example, a version `0.112.2` would still be accepted.

If you use any other tool to manage your installations, like `uv`, Poetry, Pipenv, or others, they all have a way that you can use to define specific versions for your packages.

## Available versions { #available-versions }

///

## Response Status Code { #response-status-code }

You can define the (HTTP) `status_code` to be used in the response of your *path operation*.

You can pass directly the `int` code, like `404`.

But if you don't remember what each number code is for, you can use the shortcut constants in `status`:

		return strconv.FormatUint(uint64(v), 10)
	case uint64:
		return strconv.FormatUint(v, 10)
	}
	return ""
}

const nestedRelationSplit = "__"

// NestedRelationName nested relationships like `Manager__Company`
func NestedRelationName(prefix, name string) string {
	return prefix + nestedRelationSplit + name
}

// SplitNestedRelationName Split nested relationships to `[]string{"Manager","Company"}`

async def read_item(item_id: int):
    if item_id == 3:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=418, detail="Nope! I don't like 3.")

Let's start with an example and then see it in detail.

We create an async function `lifespan()` with `yield` like this:
