  Hi @Multichill, thanks for your response.
  
  > Did you try a blank install on Toolforge without virtualenv?
  
  I have von toolforge access, therefore I have no glue what packages are 
preinstalled there. It would be a great help if you could give me the response 
of `pip freeze` which shows the preinstalled packages with their package 
version.
  
  > Toolforge should do the (bit overdue) update of Debian so that all 
dependencies are installed by default
  
  I suggest to create a separate task for it (if it's not already done)
  
  > Pywikibot should strip out some of the dependencies so it runs on the 
current Toolforge
  
  A wikitext parser become mandatory due to T106763 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T106763> with Pywikibot 6.3 (rPWBC21f9f7d 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rPWBC21f9f7d53717aa2e0ef6468de67678e367721b05>),
 the old behaviour was deprecated with 6.1 (rPWBC525dbc7 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rPWBC525dbc7616a8015c8d57a222f0aac581a3961520>)
 and a lot of bugs could be solved with that change.
  I don't know about the installation status of other packages which are 
mandatory. What about requests, which is mandatory since Pywikibot 3.0 I guess. 
What about setuptools which is shipped with Python but a minimum version is 
required for versioning.
  Is using venv to complicated on toolforge? An idea would be to include the 
needed wikitext parser as exterals like we had previously with BeautifullSoup 
in compat branch. Would that be appropriate and help in this matter?
