I just noted that the last version of mc (4.8.33-1) depends on python3.
I mentioned this a while ago but the 'units' package also has a
dependency on 'python39' and 'python39-requests'. This is purely because
of the currency updater script (/usr/bin/unit_cur) I believe.
I suspect that most people who want units want it for its physical unit
conversion functionality and the proportion using it for up-to-date
currency conversion is probably pretty small.
Considering this, might it be an idea to remove those dependencies?
side effect of our builing tool automatism.
Removing this type of dependencies is a manual additional operation.
We should modify cyygport to allow some dependecies to be excluded.
Time to look on it.
