Summary

This PR removes the automatic installation of mecab and related Python packages from setup.py and bumps the version from 6.0.4 to 6.0.5.

Motivation

  • Fixes the issue where pip install kss or pip install . prompts for a password on macOS and Ubuntu, both inside and outside of virtual environments.
  • Prevents privilege escalation and respects Python packaging best practices.
  • Prepares for a new release (6.0.5) on PyPI.

Details

  • The PreInstall class in setup.py no longer attempts to install mecab or its Python bindings automatically.
  • Users are now expected to install mecab and its Python bindings manually if needed.
  • README.md has been updated to clearly notify users of this change and to provide manual installation guidance.
  • Version bumped to 6.0.5 in kss/__init__.py.

Additional Notes

  • No changes to the core functionality of kss.
  • Please update documentation to clarify mecab installation requirements if necessary.
