Extra libraries needed #1

Thanks for publishing this - it is working great so far. Just wanted to make note that I needed the following in order to get this working on my Ubuntu 19 install

sudo apt-get install libdbus-1-dev

I also noticed that you have a py-cairo requirement in your requirements.txt file yet it doesn't seem to be used in the project. To get that to install I had to run sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev (but I suspect I may not have needed all of these maybe only the first). Afterwards I realized it doesn't seem to be used for anything anyway so I wound up removing it.

Awesome! I'm glad it's useful for someone else too.

I just tried installing it in a fresh docker container to see what was required and a couple of those pip requirements were not needed 🤦‍♂️

The gatt-python package requires installing python3-dbus library, and I think libdbus-1-dev or similar must be a requirement of that. I have updated the REAME to require this as well.
