Remove nose-cov dependency?

[ppfeister]

Hey Ryan

So, this package is a dependency of a dependency of a dependency of a dependency of a package I'm preparing for distribution on Fedora and Enterprise Linux.

nose-cov, as a package, has been dead for far loner than twython. When looking at the source, I don't see that package being used anywhere. Is it being used as a dependency of one of your dependencies? Is this something that we would be able to safely remove from the requires?

It's in the travis.yaml -- disregard

…what thing are you packaging that depends on this?

I guess it could be removed if it’s a formality - if it’s there it’s probably a decade or so old and I’d have no context beyond that lol

I have an ongoing project that will likely require TextBlob, whose only dependency is nltk, who then requires twython. One layer less than I thought on this chain but /shrug/

If we're not sure how removal will impact things, then it's probably easier for me to adopt the orphaned package on Fedora and bring it back to life

Preparing the dependency coveralls for distrib now, for a similar reason -- doesn't seem as sure of a thing to remove
