Description

Hello,

I was using pywit (https://github.com/lextoumbourou/PyWit) in my project and as you made an official python package, I was going to use it. But I miss some features to switch :

There was some useful functions like get_intents(). Is it possible to implement these please ?

Also, I think dependencies shouldn't be here in this library. Using the audio part is one of the feature of your API, but seems a bit useless to install dev dependencies to compile (as it isn't pure-python) the package by default. It should be used in a subpackage or something like that "wit.api.X, wit.text.X, wit.audio.X".

This way it will be more pythonic and more easy to distribute the package. (but it's my personal point of view)

Research direction
Investigate the Wit API documentation to identify commonly used endpoints that are missing from the current PyWit library. Review the existing codebase (e.g., pywit/wit.py) to understand the pattern for adding new API functions. Check the issue comments for specific function requests from the author and other commenters. Additionally, explore the possibility of restructuring the package into submodules as suggested in the issue.
