Summary
This pull request removes the unused dependency
typing_extensions
from thesetup.cfg
configuration file. The removal of this dependency is a finding from ongoing research aimed at identifying and eliminating code bloat within software projects.Rationale
The
typing_extensions
library was originally introduced to the project in #192 for its use in thesrc/widgetastic/types.py
file. However, as of now, the said file (src/widgetastic/types.py
) has been deleted, and the dependency appears to be unused within the source code, while it continues to be listed in the project's dependency files.Removing this unused dependency reduces the overall footprint of the application, mitigating potential security risks, and simplifying the dependency management process.
