Arch Linux

Description:

It appears that since the 2.3.0 update, httpie requires both the python-requests-toolbelt and the python-pysocks packages. If they are not installed, an error appears when running 'http', even with no arguments.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 2.3.0-1
* config and/or log files etc.: none
* link to upstream bug report, if any: Not an upstream bug, but you can check that those dependencies were newly introduced in httpie 2.3.0 here: https://github.com/httpie/httpie/blame/dc3687f7ac9a2b066fb53a64da2bbfaa47dd4c77/setup.py#L40

Steps to reproduce:

Install httpie in a machine without python-requests-toolbelt and/or python-pysocks and try to run 'http' without arguments. Log included below:
