Missing requirements.txt

[aahnik]

requirements.txt is required for GitHub to generate dependency graphs. Github dependabot can alert us of any critical security updates in any package we depend on.

IIRC dependabot can already parse setup.py. GitHub dependency graph is not really important to me, and I'd rather not duplicate the dependencies for this sole benefit. Although maybe it's smart enough to support a "fake" requirements.txt containing only something like -e .?

[aahnik]

If requirements.txt is there, then the developer can do

pip install -r requirements.txt

For the end-user, who will pip install notion-client , this does not matter. But for people who will clone this repo, create a virtual env, and start developing, they need to need to manually install all required packages required by the notion-client.

Currently notion-client only depends on httpx, (so i need to pip install httpx) but in the future, as we provide more features, we may need other dependencies, then pip install x y z may become cumbersome.

It will be great, if a contributing guidelines is written, for new developers who want to contribute to this repo.

Yeah, I do agree that a requirements.txt file makes contributing easier by respecting people habits. :) What I don't want is to duplicate the list of dependencies, hence the -e . suggestion, which I think would make everyone happy.

[aahnik]

yes, that's right. But once, editable installs are available for pyproject.toml, I think, we should move to poetry.

[ramnes]

Yeah maybe, let's discuss it again when that happens. Thanks for your contribution!
