My bad, sorry. python-cliff doesn't depends on cliff-tablib.

I don't really know how to describe the mess that this package is. It bundles so many outdated Python modules with hacks to force Py3 support into it, that it is impossible to package properly. Mostly, all the embedded Python modules in tablib have had newer upstream releases with real support for Py3 (instead of hacks in the bundled versions), though upgrading to them breaks tablib. Just doing "python3 setup.py install" fails on me because its trying to install the Py2 version. It's just horrible... :( So please don't just remove cliff-tablib, which itself is fine, but really get rid of tablib as per the subject...
