Setup dependencies of pynetlogo on install_requires

[j3mdamas]

Hi, Is there a particular reason for not stating the dependencies (pandas, numpy, scipy, JPype1) on the install_requires of the setup command? This would make the installation much smoother. I can make a PR, if you want, but I am not sure if there are particular versions of the dependencies that would be more suitable.

it is very deliberate because in my experience using setup.py with explicit dependencies can easily break a python environment. I have had this happen to me too often over the last several years.

Thanks for the very quick answer. I haven't faced that, but that's probably because I mostly create virtual environments from scratch. Maybe a requirements.txt file would be a nice to have instead, so that the person can just run pip install -r requirements.txt.

might indeed be a good idea and should be quite easy to add.

The simplest is:

JPype1
numpy
pandas
scipy

but something more controlled could be:

JPype1>=1.3,<1.4
numpy>=1.20,<1.21
pandas>=1.2,<1.3
scipy>=1.6,<1.7
