Make external dependencies optional

[ilyanoskov]

Hello, do you think it's possible to make some of the external dependencies optional for Pathway?

Things like:

• google-api-python-client
• Office365-REST-Python-Client

or anything else that the end users might not actually need to run Pathway? In my personal case, I never intend to use google-api or Office365 and I don't want to bring these dependencies in my Python project. I think it makes sense if these become optional / installable separately?

Thanks for bringing this up. Providing package extras that would allow e.g. pip install pathway[no-xpacks] with a minimum set of dependencies is on the roadmap.
Keeping this one open until it happens.
