> `pip install xarray` is always the minimal set of dependencies, but we can make something like `pip install xarray[tutorial]` work.

My question is whether we can make xarray by default pull the equivalent of `xarray[tutorial]`, and a separate `xarray[minimal]` for anyone who really wants to avoid deps...

Is there a way of having `pooch` as a default but not required dependency? I'm not sure how python works with this — can we specify a `minimal` / `required` dependency set, but have `pooch` installed by default?

It's a pretty light dependency, and it's unfortunate to add any sand into the gears of getting someone to the tutorial.

Yes and is this a problem with passing an engine? Could doing what it says (""passing one explicitly"") make it work?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,889162918
