pyface installation requires pyqt as a dependency #23

Open alexkayal00 opened 4 years ago

alexkayal00 commented 4 years ago

When installing pyface via conda install pyface, it appears that a required dependency is pyqt, although pyface fully supports other components as a replacement for pyqt, such as Pyside2. The issue is that pyqt is licensed under GPL, which is understandably not an option for many developers. Would you be able to loosen that requirement and/or allow the user to select which underlying component for pyface to download as a requirement?

This is still an issue. It makes creating an environment with PySide2 cumbersome. The entire enthought stack has to be installed with --no-deps which cannot be specified in environment.yml.
