Finalize list of dependencies #14

Closed simonbowly closed 1 year ago

simonbowly commented 2 years ago

After we have a good collection of models, we should think about which dependencies are the default. Should the user have easy ways (via extras) to install specific dependencies for graphs, machine learning, OR models, without getting everything under the sun with the default install?

Looks like we are leaning towards:

pandas, numpy, scipy & gurobipy-pandas will be the only core dependencies
networkx and friends will live as various extras

In 7eb8382 I added optional overloading for bipartite matching, with tests that are skipped if networkx is not installed. faff520 sets up a separate CI step for tests that need required dependencies, so we can be sure not to accidentally require a non-core dependency.

Closing this, we have our final list:

Require gurobipy >= 10 (per #54)
networkx is not needed as an 'extras' in the project config, as a user must create a networkx graph in order to use the networkx interface of various mods, implying that they already have it installed
