Remove readline from requirements.txt
exploide opened this issue · 1 comments
This might be quite the opposite of #55 but I would like to propose removing readline
from requirements.txt
.
I had trouble installing this module on a recent Fedora machine and the readme for readline
(https://pypi.org/project/readline/) claims that "THIS PACKAGE IS DEPRECATED".
Instead, one should use gnureadline
, which installs correctly. However, the readme of gnureadline
(https://pypi.org/project/gnureadline/) explains "do you really need this package in 2019? You typically don’t".
Instead, one should take a look at the standard library readline
module (https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/readline.html), which apparently has the same module interface and looks compatible.
In order to avoid troubles while installing deprecated third party readline
module, I propose to remove this from requirements.txt
.
That sounds reasonable, thanks.
