That's a cleanup we can do at any time, I guess. I note that not all of them get pulled in correctly, though; after installing 7.2.6 with pip, I still had to get pyyaml separately before it would work. > So, I am happy to get your feedback, but I am well aware about its > potential to be improved and the lack of my deep knowledge about the > script.

We can add a separate requirements file for successful installation of 2.4.x later if that's really needed. Unless I hear screams, my plan is to apply this. Thanks, jon
