rainbowstream has configurable Pocket support (via settings) but declares
the dependency in install_requires, making it a compulsory run-time dependency
checked/varified by setuptools.
When first committed, given the pocket Python package had not yet been ported,
it was (obviously) not included in RUN_DEPENDS, but it was not removed from
setup.py:install_requires, resulting in the following runtime error:
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pocket' distribution was not found
and is required by rainbowstream
This could be rectified by the user by installing the package from pip, which
is convenient, but which we explicitly recommend against [1].
This commit patches setup.py moving pocket to setup.py:extras_require and the
main module to conditionally import pocket, instead of failing as follows:
from pocket import Pocket
ImportError: No module named pocket
While I'm here:
- Remove upper bound/limit on 3.x version support
