scipy dep

[danbider]

Hi!

scipy is used in a few places in the repo, but doesn't appear in the deps. should be added? or eliminated from repo?

Thank you for reporting this. scipy is needed for the 4-bit NormalFloat data type calculation. So it is best to add it to the requirements.

[TimDettmers]

It has been added. Thanks again for reporting.

I don't think this addresses the problem.

Note the Requires: line in pip show:

$ pip show bitsandbytes

It has been added. Thanks again for reporting.

I think you need to add it to install_requires too.

I can confirm it's still an open issue when installing from pip.
