Blackarch dependency version issue prompt_toolkit==1.0.15

[Laurens D'hooge]

I've installed Habu on Arch Linux, through the BlackArch repo.
However, none of the dependencies get picked up during the installation and even after installing them manually one issue remains. The version of prompt_toolkit is somehow locked to 1.0.15. Without virtualenv Arch linux does not support version locking like this.

Is there a reason to stick to this specific version and if not, what should I modify to just use the latest version of prompt_toolkit?

[Laurens D'hooge]

A potential solution is editing /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/habu-VERSION-py3.7.egg-info/requires.txt, removing the ==1.0.15 on the line containing prompt_toolkit.
Based on testing some of habu's commands, this does not break the application. Please consider removing the version lock in future versions.

[Fabian Martinez Portantier]

Yes, you're right, prompt toolkit is only used on habu.jshell.
I've removed has a dependency in version 1.0.2
We need a way to put a list of recommended packages.
I will research on that.
Thanks!
