Build dependency issue on main branch?

[mattzque]

I'm sure I just don't understand something, but when I try to install pottery via git I get this error:

% pip install 'git+https://github.com/brainix/pottery.git'         
Collecting git+https://github.com/brainix/pottery.git

      [end of output]

The error originates from the setup.py file which imports pottery itself, it tries to import redis, but redis isn't available at this point and the build dependencies are declared within setup.py itself? I (seemingly) fixed it by removing the import from setup.py.

Is this a bug? Or did I not install it correctly?
