Reduce dependencies #51

Open florianhartig opened 8 years ago

florianhartig commented 8 years ago

Question whether we can reduce dependencies at no or marginal costs.

Options:

  1. if we use only one function, include code directly (with proper acknowledgments and check license compatibility)
  2. Move dependency from import to suggest (means it won't be installed, but throws an error if the function is used)

candidates for the latter could be special functions used by the plotting functions etc.

Discussion is open here - IN DOUBT LEAVE THINGS LIKE THEY ARE!
