Option to hide "xxx is not supported"

[hongbo-miao]

Would it be a good idea to hide these info by default or provide an option? Thanks! ☺️

ldf is not supported
xls is not supported
xlsx is not supported

This is coming from canmatrix

If it bothers you , then install the missing dependencies

@hongbo-miao alternatively consider raising this in the canmatrix github as a suggestion

I see, thanks for the info! I will ask on canmatrix side.

I would not say "bother". However, it does confuse a lot of people. For example this was asked on Reddit 4 years ago here.

I had a same question. My code is very simple which is just reading MF4 file: https://github.com/hongbo-miao/hongbomiao.com/blob/main/embedded-system/decode-can-mf4-data/src/main.py

I am curious if install extra dependencies (and which one exactly?), what would be benefits other than hide the warning? Does it only support more file formats that I actually don’t need in my case. (Because I know some libraries for example after adding some optional dependencies, it can help use GPU, or help handle large data in low memory devices.)
