Dependencies¶

These are all the dependencies in use by the package.

If only using a subset of the package, it suffices to use what the subset requires. For example, all the GUI-related dependencies are not necessary if only the device-related code is to be used, and vice versa. However, everything is written in (and so requires) Python 2:

• Python >=2.6 && <3
