A simple NLP library allows profiling datasets with one or more text columns. When given a dataset and a column name containing text data, NLP Profiler will return either high-level insights or low-level/granular statistical information about the text in that column.

Suggest to loosen the dependency on textblob #68

Hi, your project nlp_profiler(commit id: bde13ee6958d4efc48366c86ab952545b621eff7) requires "textblob==0.15.3" in its dependency. After analyzing the source code, we found that the following versions of textblob can also be suitable, i.e., textblob 0.9.0, 0.9.1, 0.10.0, 0.11.0, 0.11.1, 0.12.0, 0.13.0, 0.13.1, 0.14.0, 0.15.0, 0.15.1, 0.15.2, since all functions that you directly (2 APIs: textblob.blob.Word.new, textblob.blob.TextBlob.init) or indirectly (propagate to 5 textblob's internal APIs and 0 outsider APIs) used from the package have not been changed in these versions, thus not affecting your usage.

Therefore, we believe that it is quite safe to loose your dependency on textblob from "textblob==0.15.3" to "textblob>=0.9.0,<=0.15.3". This will improve the applicability of nlp_profiler and reduce the possibility of any further dependency conflict with other projects.

May I pull a request to further loosen the dependency on textblob?

By the way, could you please tell us whether such an automatic tool for dependency analysis may be potentially helpful for maintaining dependencies easier during your development?
