soapy-power supposed to be optional in 2.2.0 but is not

[ZeroChaos-]

Not only is soapy-power not optional, it seems to be checking soapy-power's deps from qspectrumanalyzer

It is optional, QSpectrumAnalyzer will actually work if you start it without soapy_power being installed. But soapy_power is still required in setup.py (and I really don't want to change that), which means startup scripts generated by setup.py will check if it is installed. You can avoid it by starting QSpectrumAnalyzer like this:

python3 -m qspectrumanalyzer

Or write your own startup script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from qspectrumanalyzer.__main__ import main
main()

I am closing this issue. I hope that what I have recommended in my previous comment worked for you. If it did not, then please let me know and I will reopen this issue.
