python-slugify requirement clashes with existing awesome-slugify

[awbacker]

We have been using awesome-slugify for quite some time now, due to very handy helpers like slugify_url and its handling of unicode/chinese characters.

v0.13 of transifex-client now installs python-slugify which also uses the same module name slugify, causing a conflict. On our production systems the transifex client is not installed, so this isn't causing an issue, however in our dev environment it is.

Not sure what can be done about this, short of offering an option like pip install transifex[awesome-slugify] or having the projects re-namespace (as they should have before now!).

I will look into changing which slugify we use, but then we may run into issues where I peg to a lower version and then transifex-client requires a newer one.

We had the same issue, its a problem with python dependency management (which is a hell anyways).
I think transifex should implement their own slug function instead of depending on an external library.

I think they should vendor this dependency at least. We've moved onto python_slugify too now, so not as big an issue. The main problem, small one, is that the pinned versions of slugify and six are *old*, and we use newer ones. I just ignore the warning, but it would be good if they had broader versions allowed, since people don't usually use tfx standalone, but rather part of s larger project and are likely to have these packages installed as well.

I'll add that python-slugify and awesome-slugify also conflict with Mozilla's unicode-slugify. 😞
