Hi, Thanks for this prompt message. This is very much appreciated over here! Indeed, that's a big problem for me (as a Debian package maintainer). As I mentioned, mechanize has numerous issues, one of them is the lack of Python 3, the other one being so many embedded python modules, most of them being completely outdated. > In any case, mechanize shouldn't be _required_, it should just be > available if you ask for it.

That's exactly the version which I've been looking at. The thing is, when I run the unit test with that version, it just bombs on me because mechanize isn't there. > If there are issues please report them as bugs on github, they'll > get fixed: > > https://github.com/cdent/python3-wsgi-intercept/issues > > If there's a better way to do the optional-ness of mechanize > (without changing everything else), then please suggest something. I don't think it's a good idea to have mechanize even optional. That's an option for a very bad Python module which nobody should be using. Please let me know if you can release a new version of wsgi-intercept cleaned from any trace of mechanize, or if you think this can't be done. If the former, then I'll just wait until you're done so that I can fix #755315 (which is why I'm adding the Debian bug as Cc).
