Namecheap support not optional about lexicon HOT 6 CLOSED

It is exactly that!

from lexicon.

In fact, the inline help for this provider dynamically adds a warning message saying this when the dependencies are missing.

I am also planning to deliver soon a complete online documentation that will include these instructions for relevant providers.

And on the long term I would simply not depend on these optional deps, and use only the lexicon core deps.

Thanks for the heads-up @mamash
I've released a new version of lexicon with a fix for that issue.

Am I missing what "optional" means in lexicon context? Does it mean "not required for lexicon install, but if I want to use Namecheap, it is mandatory to install lexicon[namecheap] helper library"?

I had a hard time reaching this conclusion. Lexicon having namecheap.py installed, and 94210ad comment makes it look like it's more of a convenience, an alternative "upgraded" API implementation, "optional", don't really have to install it. Something like "You MUST install your specific providers dependencies." somewhere would've been helpful.

Yes, my feedback also encompasses having seen that message. It still seemed "optional". Hence my all-caps "MUST" suggestion to drive the point home in the inline warning message. Of course, maybe I'm in the measurement error % size thick skull pool and everyone else gets it.

Your long term roadmap sounds good.
