The Python package named `packaging` is only required as a runtime dependency by the `gevent` worker of `gunicorn`; in other words, we do not need to install it as a dependency for installations of other worker types. This changeset relocates the `packaging` requirement from the default dependencies for `gunicorn` to the `gevent` extras set (and also the `requirements_test.txt` requirements file, so that it is available when the unit tests run).

There was a problem hiding this comment.
NB: I didn't mention this additional line when I wrote the discussion thread topic; I noticed it today while scanning the pyproject.toml file again. It seems to more-or-less mirror the requirement list in requirements_test.txt, so I've added packaging here too, for consistency.

@jayaddison seems like it is failing a lint test. Looks simple enough to fix. |
