# HTTPretty doesn't have any requirements per se so far. yay!

So I assume you take the version definitions in "development.txt" as
"hard requirement" - but this file only defines *one* valid set of
dependencies. So please review *all* the packages you say
"python-httpretty has a hard requirement" and try to get rid of them. It
may be even better to patch or "substitute" httpretty to make it work
with our set of versions instead of piling of version of packages used
only for this one. Thanks.
