Move colorlib into a separate independent package

You could also move the paths, the cli component, etc. to different packages. The point of plumbum is to prove all the tools you need to write shell scripts in a single package with no dependencies.

cli also depends on colorlib, with customized output for color.

However, colorlib (and cli) are rather uniquely separate from the rest of plumbum in that they provide functionality that could be used without plumbum, and could in theory be provided separately as well. But then you would have to add three packages to get plumbum's current functionality, or depend on requirement setup by pip/conda/etc., which are a bit flakey and not always used (at least historically). Since plumbum is already easy to install with no requirements, I don't think there is a strong reason to try this.

If you have thoughts on a good way to do this however, please let me know.

I see no problem with this.

What do you mean as a "good way"?

I've been working on separating interdependencies between colorlib, cli, and the rest of plumbum in a branch, pretty busy at the moment, and no promises as to what will end up becoming available separately, but at least separation will be easier if needed.

Hi!
Please, is this going to happen?
I'm the author of the https://github.com/rsalmei/alive-progress lib, and I'm looking for some cool terminal color lib to use. If this was split I could consider using it.
Thanks.
