WARNING: tablib 0.14.0 does not provide the extra 'xlsx'

Issue Summary

I’m using the license scanning feature from GitLab, which does all sorts of things behind the scenes, but it errors out on this tablib issue. I’ve replicated it outside of this with a requirements.in file with just wagtail in it:

$ cat requirements.in
wagtail

$ pip-compile --no-emit-index-url --output-file requirements.txt requirements.in

$ cat requirements.txt
...
tablib[xls,xlsx]==0.14.0
    # via wagtail
urllib3==1.25.6
    # via requests
wagtail==2.12.6
    # via -r requirements.in

And if I try to install that manually:

❯ pip install tablib[xls,xlsx]==0.14.0
Requirement already satisfied: tablib[xls,xlsx]==0.14.0 in ./.virtualenv/lib/python3.7/site-packages (0.14.0)

How do we get wagtail to not include those brackets? Cause it works just fine if I go that route.

Technical details

$ python --version
Python 3.7.4

$ pip show django | grep Version

You can close this, figured it out. From the pip-tools README:

Note: If pip-compile finds an existing requirements.txt file that fulfils the dependencies then no changes will be made, even if updates are available. To compile from scratch, first delete the existing requirements.txt file, or see Updating requirements for alternative approaches.

Once I deleted the requirements.txt, and re-ran it, it had the latest version of tablib:

$ cat requirements.txt | grep -C3 '^tablib'
    # via beautifulsoup4
sqlparse==0.4.1
    # via django
tablib[xls,xlsx]==3.0.0
    # via wagtail
tenacity==8.0.1
    # via ddtrace

Oh interesting! Thought wagtail was enforcing that version for some reason. Looks like I’ve more digging to do.

I’ll get back to you once I’ve more information. Thanks!
