PyPI package is badly built

[facundobatista]

Description

The package in PyPI has two main issues:

• no README or description
• misses to declare own dependencies (e.g. requests or fastavro)

How to reproduce

• create a clean virtual environment, activate
• pip install confluent_kafka
• open an interactive interpreter, and:

>>> import confluent_kafka.schema_registry
...
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

Checklist

Please provide the following information:

• [X ] confluent-kafka-python and librdkafka version (confluent_kafka.version() and confluent_kafka.libversion()):

>>> confluent_kafka.version()
('2.3.0', 33751040)
>>> confluent_kafka.libversion()
('2.3.0', 33751295)

• Apache Kafka broker version:
• Client configuration: {...}
• Operating system: Ubuntu
• Provide client logs (with 'debug': '..' as necessary)
• Provide broker log excerpts
• Critical issue

+1. Our CI suddenly failed after a new dependency httpx is introduced

I noticed the specified version is tricky, so it should be better handled automatically when installing confluent_kafka

+1 we experience the exact same thing that xxchan is experiencing. The upgrade from 2.6.1 to 2.6.2 broke our data pipelines.
