Missing reportlab dependency?

[Adam Szkoda]

Hello. When I do

$ pip install pdfdocument

and then

import pdfdocument
import pdfdocument.document

IPython gives me

ImportError: No module named reportlab.lib

[Matthias Kestenholz]

Yes, that's correct. We are still using distutils in setup.py and should switch to setuptools.

Is there any disadvantage adding reportlab to the setup.py as dependency?

[Matthias Kestenholz]

No disadvantage at all. It's just that Python packaging was a mess 6 years ago, and I didn't yet get around to updating setup.py for the present situation.

Do you want to take a stab at it?
