Unresolved dependencies with the imas-python v2 pip package (imas-core and netcdf4)

[GFuhr]

Hey,

I was trying to install imas-python in a docker container (can't find a more empty venv than that), following instructions there :
https://imas-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing.html

I was able to install both the imas-data-dictionary and the imas-python it seems but when trying to import imas-python I have this issue :

python -c "import imas; print(imas.__version__)"
13:39:18 CRITICAL Could not import 'imas_core': No module named 'imas_core'. Some functionality is not available. @imas_interface.py:34
2.0.1.dev0

Moreover when I try to run the tests using :

pytest imas --mini

I can't run them due to a missing dependencies : netCDF4.

This one was easy to solve, I just modified the pyproject.toml and add it in the dependencies list :
dependencies = [
# FIXME: numpy 2.0 compatibility
"numpy>=1.15.4,<2",
"rich",
"scipy",
"click",
"importlib_resources;python_version<'3.9'",
"packaging",
"xxhash >= 2",
"saxonche",
"gitpython",
"netCDF4"
]
After this "fix" when I run the pytest command again I got :
============================= 310 passed, 252 skipped, 1 warning in 49.59s =============================

Great work in all cases, congratz!

Thanks @GFuhr! Indeed at the moment we deal with these as optional dependencies. I've updated the doc and readme (see #29) for sake of clarity.
