Unnecessary dependency on docutils #11

Closed CarstenLeue closed 3 years ago

CarstenLeue commented 3 years ago

The SDK declares a dependency on docutils here https://github.com/IBM/ibm-cos-sdk-python-core/blob/master/setup.py#L7

docutils is released under GPL which is much harder to clear for an IBM consumer than the Apache license of the SDK itself. Briefly looking at the code it appears as if the dependency on docutils were only required during the build of the documentation but not at runtime.

I suggest to remove the runtime dependency on docutils so consumers have a shorter dependency list without any GPL licensed dependency.

We appreciate your feedback to remove docutils from setup.py.

Thank you for taking the time out to make this suggestion @CarstenLeue.

We will update this ticket when we complete our evaluation.

Hi @CarstenLeue,

We have scheduled the docutils dependency removal from setup.py to be included in our Q4 release.
