tidy up python dependencies #19

Closed guillomovitch closed 3 years ago

guillomovitch commented 3 years ago

bs4 is just a wrapper for beautifulsoup4
http_client seems unused anywhere
pathlib and ipaddress are python2 backports of python3 modules

As explained in the commit changelog, most of these dependencies are either useless, or indirect. It doesn't hurt for people managing dependencies manually, with pip for instance, but it does for linux distribution package maintainers, where those dependencies triggers automatic dependencies that would in turn need useless additional package creation in order to get satisfied.
