Requiring pydot

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I find requiring pydot is an unfavorable development, as it requires
further inclusion of pyparsing and Graphviz.  This tight coupling should
not be required, but should be an optional extension.  These requirements
may prevent me from using the graph library in some applications.

Can you make 1.4 available on the web site, so I can continue development?

Thanks

All packages should be available through pypi, no?

  How is it that you install python-graph?

Re: 1.4. You can see all the download links here:

Hello. We intend to make it an optional dependency in the next release. If you 
don't
use any of the visualization features, you should be fine with it too.

Done in the repository. Check revision 418.

Thanks, all!  

I am sorry I am not familiar with pypi - I downloaded the tarball to work with 
in my
current environment. Pydot looks like it requires GraphViz and some binaries.  
Since
I do not control the build environment, I didn't want to lose access to the 
library
due to any constraints.
