Noted.
It requires some additional packages to work
so it needs some time and check that the additional dependencies
do not need additional stuff (one of the main problem of python libraries..)

dependencies = [
   "argcomplete>=1.9.4",
   "colorama>=0.4.4; sys_platform=='win32'",
   "packaging>=20",
   "platformdirs>=2.1",
   "tomli; python_version<'3.11'",
   "userpath!=1.9,>=1.6",
]
