deptry-auto 0.1.0

Automatically add missing dependencies found by deptry using uv.

deptry-auto

Scan a Python project with deptry and automatically add any missing runtime dependencies with uv add.

Installation

Install the package into the project you would like to manage (or into a dedicated tools environment):

uv add deptry-auto

ℹ️ deptry-auto expects uv to be available on your PATH.

Usage

Run the CLI from the directory that contains the pyproject.toml, or pass the target path explicitly:

# Scan the current project and apply fixes
deptry-auto

# Scan another project from anywhere
deptry-auto path/to/other-project

# Preview the changes without modifying the project
deptry-auto --dry-run

What happens:

1. deptry runs with JSON output enabled (using python -m deptry --json-output ...).
2. Any issues with code DEP001 (missing dependency) are collected.
3. Each missing package is added to the target project with uv add <package>.

deptry exits with code 1 when it finds issues, so deptry-auto tolerates both 0 (clean) and 1 (issues) but still halts for any other failure. Use --dry-run when you only need a report of the missing dependencies.

Development

uv sync            # install dependencies
uv run deptry-auto --dry-run .

Run the CLI against a throwaway project if you want to observe uv add in action.
