Distribution should not depend on Flake8

See original GitHub issue

Currently, the list of dependencies of the motmetrics distribution is taken from the requirements.txt file, which includes flake8 and flake8-import-order. However, these packages are not used anywhere in the motmetrics code. This means that installing motmetrics leads to a bunch of unnecessary dependencies being installed too.

Hey! So yes, flake8 and related (also pytest) should be removed from requirements.txt.

For developers, we could add a dev_requirements.txt or similar which needs to be installed with pip install -r dev_requirements.txt. Or even better, we utilize extras_require from setup.py as explained here.

@cheind It’s a similar concern to what the original problem was - you’re installing code that is unnecessary for most users. That said, I don’t mind it that much, so if you like it the way it is, that’s fine.

The original problem’s been resolved, so I’m closing the issue.
