Why vendor in gmusicapi? about googlemusic-xbmc

[foreverguest]

I chose to include a simplified version of the gmusicapi because the complete version does much more than is needed and requires a lot more dependencies.
These dependencies can make the addon slower. On my primary platform, a raspberry pi, it made a big difference.

How can dependencies make the addon slower if this functionality isn't used (ie. if you only use a subset of the gmusicapi?)

[denibertovic]

My primary platform is a rpi as well btw.

When you do a 'import' usually the called modules do some initializations/verifications even if you don't use it.

[denibertovic]

I'm am aware of this...But imports having side effects is a very bad practice.... What I'm saying is that the proper way would be to fix these things in the upstream library instead of vendoring in a small subset.

it should probably also be a module. like these:

gmusicapi removed.
