excessive dependencies

[PolarBean]

openjournals/joss-reviews#7906
Hi just retesting everything and noticed that there are 179 dependencies that are installed along with this package. Is it possible to trim this down somewhat? Feel free to say no if you feel this is unreasonable.

Wow, I didn't pay attention, that does seem a bit bloated. I don't know how to easily check where dependencies come from. I suspect metapackage such as notebook, that is not required per se, but I did want to the user uncomfortable with the command line and Python environments to have everything they could need in one go (including Pandas in performance mode, Brainrender that ships vedo, and so on).

that's fair. With some of my own packages in the past I had found I was using two packages where one would suffice (eg using scikit image and open cv interchangeably). If you had a look and think everything is required then feel free to close this as completed.

I'll keep it open to track this. I might move non-essential dependencies in optional requirements and update the doc accordingly.

yeah, it could be nice to have a cuisto-light package for developers who wish to have cuisto as a dependency but don't want all the extras. Not necessary for now though.
