-## Using "Development" vs "Non-development" Dependencies
-
-A number of development-only dependencies are included with this project for maintenance and testing purposes.
-Please see the `pyproject.toml` table `[tool.poetry.dependencies]` for a list of non-development dependencies and `[tool.poetry.group.dev.dependencies]` for a list of development dependencies.
-Development dependencies are by default not shipped with distributed versions of the code for this project (for example, distributed code on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/)).
-Just the same, we strongly recommend validating included dependencies and potential vulnerabilities for your environment as well as relevant policy requirements.
