Reason for closing:  Works for me
Additional comments about closing:  If there are concerns about the requests dependency, please bring this up upstream and help them remove the vendored raven package, which requires it

It seems because it is needed in here: https://github.com/quodlibet/quodlibet/blob/c461fafc32b841848552c003d984333b58a86efe/quodlibet/packages/raven/transport/requests.py#L12-L27

I dont know, maybe it can be made an optdepend ...

According to Lazka (member of the quodlibet development team) : "python-requests is not a dependency"
See comments in quodlibet-git (Aur).
it's not a problem except that maybe 4 packages are superfluous (python-requests and his own dependency).

Given that an entire package (raven) is basically vendored in quodlibet and this already generates numerous warnings via namcap, I think this should be brought up upstream.
To the packager it is opaque whether the requests dependency of raven is required in the context of quodlibet without major code digging and frankly I have too many packages to care whether there is one dependency too many or not. ;-)

I understand (in fact I don't really understand - namcap, raven... - because I'm a simple user). Anyway, thank you for your work !
