"Requests" and "StringIO" is not needed

[ichthyosaurus]

You can directly fetch the url in lyrics.py with lxml:

doc = lxml.html.parse(url)

This way you don't need StringIO (which is not in py3), and neither requests.

But LyricsWiki is gone anyway...

I didn't even realize... According to Wikipedia it disappeared about a month ago.

Thanks for pointing out that those two libraries are not needed, but as you say I guess it's moot now.

But maybe the script could be changed to use a new provider... It would need a bit of research to find one with a similarly simple way to access. Also there's a backup on archive.org: maybe someone will host LyricWiki again.

Just noticed this. Too bad. I loved py-lyrics... :(
