@afard I think we have to limit the dependencies and make the structure lighter with some useful options. Do you have any ideas so we can easily close this issue with a nice solution?
Currently, we have four category for dependencies.
The first one is listed in requirements-testing.txt. This is the list of packages we need to run our tests. It is specifically used in tox.ini and .github/workflows/pylint.yml.
The second category is the packages we need for development. They are listed in requirements-dev.txt and used in .github/workflows/pylint.yml.
IIUC, this issue is more about the last two categories "install_requires" and "extras_require" listed in setup.py.
In addition to above notes, we can also drop usage of setup.py in favor of pyproject.toml. It is a new option (and the encouraged one) to configure Python builds, made available first in pip version 10.0.
Description:
This epic focuses on enhancing the Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for VerticaPy, allowing users to choose specific dependencies based on their requirements.
Tasks:
Definition of Done:
pip install verticapy
.pip install verticapy[option]
