Description

Last week a dependency of fingerprints (which scancode-toolkit uses) was updated so that it now also depends on pyicu. Which means scancode-toolkit now also depends on pyicu.

I don't think that's intentional, I opened an issue here: opensanctions/fingerprints#23

Also worth mentioning, fingerprints is now unmaintained, see the notice in the repo: https://github.com/opensanctions/fingerprints
They mention rigour should be used instead.

How To Reproduce

Installing scancode-toolkit 32.4.1 via pip will try to install pyicu. Which for example fails on my system, since pyicu has some extra requirements when installing with pip.
