Make IPython an optional dependency

Open simonpercivall opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

It would be great if line_profiler didn't always require IPython to install, instead making it either a soft dependency, or an extras_require (with graceful degradation, of course).

Yes, we would love to do this. I've been trying out ways to make it a soft dependency, but it's tricky with the way the IPython API has changed. If you've got any suggestions, let us know!

In its most simple way, I'd do it like this: PR #114

'Course, it'd be better to split out into a separate file, to make it look a bit cleaner.
