Requirements Checker

This is a Python 3 program that checks if the libraries in the requirements file are up to date.

Usage

This script is uploaded to the https://pypi.org website at the URL: https://pypi.org/project/check-library. To use this script and check/update your libraries, you need to install the pip library using the following command: pip3 install check-library.

After installation, run the following command to execute the script and get help:

check-library --help

It will provide you with all the necessary specifications:

usage: check_library [-h] [-p FILE] [-v] [-f]

Check if the libraries in the requirements.txt file are up to date

optional arguments:
  -h, --help              show this help message and exit
  -p FILE, --path FILE    Path of the requirements file
  -o FILE, --output FILE  Output path of the new requirements file
  -v, --verbose           Display additional information
  -f, --force             Overwrite the requirements file

• check-library
  You can use the script with no options. It will take the requirements.txt file at the same location as your current path, check the libraries, and create another file requirements-output.txt as the updated version.

• check-library -p Lib/requirements.txt or check-library --path Lib/requirements.txt
  In this example, it will take the requirements.txt file located in Lib/, check the libraries, and create another file requirements-output.txt at the same location as your current path with the default name (requirements-output.txt).

• check-library -p Lib/requirements.txt -o updated_requirements.txt
  In this example, it will take the requirements.txt file located in Lib/, check the libraries, and create another file updated_requirements.txt as the updated version at the same location as your current path.

• check-library -p Lib/requirements.txt -v -f
  These two new options allow the script:

  • -v: Verbose (default: False). To set it as True, simply add -v at the end of your queries.
  • -f: Erases the input file to include new libraries inside.
