 A quick fix that is known to work include to set the `experimental_read_from_local_dir` when creating the
 environment with `grid2op.make(..., experimental_read_from_local_dir=True)` (see doc for more information)
 
+Sometimes, on some configuration (python version) we do not recommend to use grid2op with pandas>=2.2

+integration environment for python >=3.9 but could not be reproduced locally.
