I mentioned this a while ago but the 'units' package also has a 
dependency on 'python39' and 'python39-requests'. This is purely because 
of the currency updater script (/usr/bin/unit_cur) I believe.

I suspect that most people who want units want it for its physical unit 
conversion functionality and the proportion using it for up-to-date 
currency conversion is probably pretty small.

Considering this, might it be an idea to remove those dependencies?
