When trying to update the code and its dependencies, I ran into some issues.
Some originate from the Biokit package. Biokit is quite a large package to install with many dependencies, and it has a warning on its homepage that the content is moving to another package. In fact, on Windows I cannot install the Biokit package at all under python 3.9 with either pip or conda.
In GDSCTools, the Biokit package is hardly used. The only references I could find were in the PANCAN-Reader and Extra-Reader, which are both already deprecated and in Regression.dendogram_coefficients if the show-parameter is set to True.
If we could deprecate the show-parameter of this method or rewrite the heatmap-functionality from biokit.viz directly into GDSCTools, we could drop the dependency on Biokit, which could ease the installation path.
@cokelaer I'd like to get your opinion on this.
