Let's see if we can remove the numpy and scipy dependencies. It looks
like we are just using it for min/average/median/max/percentile
calculations. It would be nice if users didn't need anything other than
argparse.
Just curious, why is scipy a problem? Is it because CBT isn't a
package so you don't get dependencies handled when you install it? You
are correct, it's easy to remove the dependencies, I just didn't know it
was causing problems for people. You can get percentiles from just
sorting the sample values and indexing into the array at the appropriate
offset, I was just trying to re-use existing classes.
It's not necessarily a problem, but the less dependencies you have, the
easier it is for people to use. I do the same for fio, try to have as
few external dependencies as possible. Remember, not everybody is
running on Linux...
