New setup_requires

[williamjamir]

Hello,

With the new release the setup.py now requires installing 'gease'.

I didn't understand this requirement, for what I understood this package is a command line interface for make releases, am I right?

Hmm... for publishing, it uses gease, which make my life easier as all commands are integrated but I can see it causes some problem for the end user as gease is of no use if not the maintainer. Let me look into this.

[chfw]

the integration equals:

python setup.py publish = python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel upad -r pypi + github release this version

Just giving some background information, I'm including the pyexcel-* packages on conda-forge to be installed with conda, so I need to build the package to be able to include in the repository.

So my point is, the package gease doesn't look like a real build dependency for pyexcel, even though it makes the life of the maintainer easier.
Could you perhaps install this package separately, without enforcing dependencies in the package?

[chfw]

OK. I will remove it from setup require and make gease as optional in setup.py. with or without it, setup.py will function.
