I maintain wsgi-intercept, and I'm happy to remove mechanize if that's
really necessary. I didn't want it in there but when someone asked for
it to be back in there was insufficient objection so back in it went.

If it is causing problem, then by all means say so.
In any case, mechanize shouldn't be _required_, it should just be
available if you ask for it. If you don't import
wsgi_intercept.mechanize_intercept mechanize will not be loaded, and if
you try to do so with Python 3 you'll get an AssertionError and the
world will crash around you.
Maybe you aren't looking at the most recent version (0.7.0)?
If there are issues please report them as bugs on github, they'll
get fixed:

If there's a better way to do the optional-ness of mechanize
(without changing everything else), then please suggest something.
