Dependency cycle with twisted

[D3vil0p3r]

Hello,
I was checking several repositories maintaining python-incremental and python-twisted where incremental depends on twisted, and twisted depends on incremental.

I checked setup.py but I don't see any thing saying that incremental depends on twisted.

So, is twisted a mandatory dependency on incremental?

Hi

Can you give an example of such a repository ?

---

The hard dependencies are here

incremental/setup.cfg

Lines 23 to 25 in 5752c86

	install_requires =
	setuptools
	typing >= 3.7.4.3; python_version < '3.5'

There is the optional incremantal[scripts] that depends on twisted

incremental/setup.cfg

Lines 43 to 46 in 5752c86

	[options.extras_require]
	scripts =
	click>=6.0
	twisted>=16.4.0

Thank you for the answer @adiroiban . Just click on the linked python-incremental and python-twisted. They are from Arch Linux repository. Look the Dependencies sectiion.

Hi

The Arch packages are created by Arch developers and should be reported downstrem

We are only handling the pip packages.

Yes. In order to address this, my question is: is twisted a mandatory dependency on incremental? Or optional dependency? If no, I can report it to Arch Linux maintainers.

If you want to use incremental command line tools, twisted is mandatory.

If you only want to use the incremental API, it is not manadatory.

Hope it helps.

I am happy to review a PR that removes twisted/twisted as a dependency.
