Remove gRPC as a hard dependency #74

Open fusion44 opened 2 years ago

fusion44 commented 2 years ago

Currently gRPC is always installed, even if the user only runs Core Lightning.

The dependencies for the lightning backend must be installed by pip manually upon install:

LND: pip install grpcio grpcio-tools googleapis-common-protos protobuf
CLN: pip install pyln-client

Maybe gRPC can now be of bigger use with new Core Lightning supports this interface?

Yes, but the end goal is to extract the abstraction layer to its own library. I want to make it usable for LNbits medium term too. LNbits supports also other funding sources that don't have a gRPC requirement.
