optional posthog

[vijayvammi]

Hi Eduardo,

Noticing that ploomber-core depends on posthog for telemetry, may be?

The worrying thing is its attempt to log into an external end point, us-api.i.posthog.com

Traceback (most recent call last):

1). Could we make it optional install?
I set up the _PLOOMBER_TELEMETRY_DEBUG to but I still see an attempt to do telemetry.

Cheers,
Vijay

hi, you can disable telemetry with:

export PLOOMBER_STATS_ENABLED=false

I think you'll still need to have posthog installed, otherwise importing the package will break, but this will disable external API calls. let me know if you still have issues after disabling it
