Installation of v1.3.0 fails due to invalid dependency on built-in module 're'

[anchoredship]

Hi there, thank you for maintaining this useful library!
When attempting to install jcamp via pip, the installation fails to install v1.3.0 because the package declares a dependency on the built-in standard library module re.
I investigated the issue and found that re is only explicitly listed as a dependency in the package's METADATA file.
Could you please remove re from the dependencies in METADATA file and release a patch version (e.g., 1.3.1)?
Thanks again for your time and great work!

By the way, using pip install jcamp==1.3.0 --no-deps allowed me to solve the problem for some useful functions are only available in v1.3.0.

Thanks for letting me know about the error in the package setup! I have just now updated the PyPI package to 1.3.1. where I've explicitly included "re" and "datetime" as dependencies. I tested this, so I believe this takes care of the discrepancy, but please let me know if the problem remains.

Just stumbled upon the same issue and the installation problem still persists.

I assume it is related to re and datetime, which are part of Python's standard library, so they're always available and never need to be installed. Listing them under the package dependencies makes pip try to download them from PyPI, where re doesn't exist (so strict installers such as pip, uv, and pixi fail to resolve jcamp), and datetime unfortunately matches an unrelated old package (Zope's DateTime).

So possibly it is sufficient to keep numpy as only dependency (unless you tested that, then the problem is elsewhere.

Thanks for the tip! I have removed the dependencies and updated the package (which required bumping the version to 1.3.2). I hope the update is now working for you.

Thanks, for the prompt dependency change. The issues seems solved. @anchoredship can you confirm?
